Westminster Cathedral Choir and Britten Sinfonia present two masterworks that speak to the mystery of faith, suffering, and redemption. MacMillan's Stabat Mater is a monumental contemporary setting of the ancient Marian hymn, contemplating the sorrow of the Virgin Mary at the foot of the Cross. Deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, MacMillan's music unites modern expression with the resonances of Gregorian chant and liturgical practice giving voice to grief, compassion, and hope, with an intensity that is reverent and arresting. Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis is inspired by the sacred polyphony of the English Renaissance. Drawing on a Psalm Tune, the Fantasia unfolds with noble simplicity and radiant calm evoking the enduring beauty of sacred music. The concert begins with Sir James MacMillan in discussion with Fr Patrick van der Vorst, Precentor of Westminster Cathedral and Founder of Christian art. Tickets are in aid of the work of the Cathedral.
