成人快手 Singers: Durufl茅 and Poulenc

Join the 成人快手 Singers, Iain Farrington and David Hill for a selection of twentieth century French choral works, inspired by medieval chant and plainsong.

Maurice Durufl茅's signature work, his calm and meditative Requiem, is at the heart of this programme which also features Poulenc's ethereal Litanies 脿 la Vierge noir for female voices, and monastic Quatre petites pri猫res de Saint Fran莽ois d'Assise - inspired by the prayers of Catholic Saint Francis of Assise. Considered one of the greatest twentieth century choral works, this arrangement of the Requiem features obligato cello solo (performed here by 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra principal cellist Susan Monks), organ and voices.
