Poulenc and Fauré (Wentworth Falls)

Phoenix Choir presents a concert of French Music.
Francis Poulenc rediscovered his Catholicism following the death of a friend in 1936. Although his composition of religious works generally became more austere, with the Gloria, Poulenc used the playful and theatrical style from his operas to create a work of pure joy. Its full of what Amy calls “naughty harmonies” and syncopated rhythms which that choir have found both challenging and a lot of fun. And with its beautiful soprano solos, especially the Domine Deus its no accident that it is a favourite piece for Amy.
To complete the program we have luscious numbers from France’s artistic zenith at the fin de siècle - including Fauré’s much-loved Cantique de Jean Racine – and we delve back into the French Renaissance for some light-hearted madrigals.
Musical Director, Amy Moore, leads the choir, soloists, and accompanist Janette Norcott.
