The musicAeterna choir gives two concerts at Dom Radio
27 November at 18:00
The choir under the baton of Виталий Полонский (Vitaly Polonsky) will perform Dmitri Shostakovich’s monumental cycle Ten Poems on Texts of Revolutionary Poets. The response to Shostakovich will be Алексей Сюмак’s ‘1948’, a piece for mixed choir and two bass drums, commissioned by musicAeterna, and the choral pamphlet Advance Democracy, a rarely performed composition by the British classic Benjamin Britten.

The choir will be conducted by Fedor Lednev. He compiled the concert programme of three pieces to liturgical texts, composed in completely different styles. Credo from the Messe de Nostre Dame by Guillaume de Machaut is a masterpiece of High Medieval sacred music. @Alexey Sysoev’s Pie Jesu is part of the Requiem and, at the same time, an exercise in contemplation: the leisurely flowing clusters of the choir are cut by alto strings and the tapping of the wooden sticks, the claves which the basses play. St. Petersburg composer Dmitri Smirnov, when writing Prayers from St. John Chrysostom’s Liturgy, drew on the traditions of the Russian choral school, carefully blending them with modern composition techniques.

Contemporary works to liturgical texts are usually not for performing in church, but they inevitably bring the religious experience of the music into the context of a secular concert.
