As part of Evensong, the Schola and Liverpool Cathedral Choir will give a joint performance of Hail Gladdening Light (Charles Wood), Howells' Westminster Service and Te lucis ante terminum by Balfour Gardiner. The London Oratory School Schola is coming to Liverpool by special invitation. One of the country’s leading liturgical and commercial boys’ choirs, it has been invited by Liverpool Hope University to give a concert to mark the joint work of the late Bishop David Sheppard and Archbishop Derek Worlock. In addition to its performances at both Liverpool’s great cathedrals, it will give an evening of English choral music at The Cornerstone, Hope at Everton, at 7.30pm on Saturday 13th September. Admission by ticket only, see separate entry. The Schola, a choir 55 strong, is directed by Lee Ward, himself a Liverpudlian. The Schola’s weekend visit will be very much in the ecumenical spirit for which the two bishops were so well known: in addition to performing at this service, the Schola will also sing Solemn Mass on Sunday 14th September at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. Incorporated into the Mass liturgy, there will be a joint performance by the Schola and the Metropolitan Cathedral Choir of Westminster Mass by Roxanna Panufnik, a beautiful and haunting work (chamber setting with tubular bells, organ and harp), see separate entry. |
