Sonare Choir

Elements: a-cappella vocal pieces by Byrd, Weekes, Lassus, Bach, Tavener, Pärt, Vaughan Williams, and others

Sonare's Elements programme explores how the great composers use the building blocks of melody, harmony and rhythm to construct their most moving, thrilling and innovative works. From Vaughan Williams' love affair with English folksong to rhythmic evocations of the eternal in Britten and Duruflé, the quartet gets under the skin of some of the greatest choral music, with their signature mix of vocal power and spellbinding expression.
