DIRECTOR of music at St Mary’s Cathedral, Peter Barley, has got in touch about a concert of sacred music for Holy Week. There is an open invitation for us to attend on (Palm) Sunday March 20 at 5pm for ‘Lacrimosa’, with the Collegium Chamber Choir from Galway.
Mr Eoin Hynes is tenor, David Leigh accompanies on organ and their programme director is Mark Duley.
Look forward to beautiful works by Gibbons, Byrd, Walton, Tallis and an early German organ chorale prelude.
Mr Barley tells us that the title ‘Lacrimosa’ is drawn from the poetic imagery of seventeenth century metaphysicists Phineas Fletcher and Patrick Carey, heard in works by Gibbons, Walton and Leighton.
Free in, there will be a retiring collection.
