Schubert Mass No 6 in E flat Wentworth Falls
Schubert’s final mass – full of drama, chromatic fugues, contrasting dynamics and stunning key modulations – is considered one of his greatest works, moving, profound and powerful.
Six glorious movements. The peaceful opening of the Kyrie. The Gloria with its haunting melodies and a fugue that seemingly uses every form of contrapuntal composition known to man. The Credo with one of Schubert’s most beautiful melodies, Et incarnatus est. The creative chromaticism and emotional dynamics of the Sanctus that pave the path for the Romantic composers to follow. The Benedictus that looks back to high Classical composition, reminiscent of Mozart and Haydn. Finally, the sweet tranquillity of Dona nobis pacem in the Agnus Dei, bringing the Mass to a close.
Also on the program: Tantum ergo in Eb (Schubert), O come everyone that thirsteth, from Elijah (Mendelssohn) and Agnus Dei from Mass in C (Coronation Mass, Mozart).
The choir will be joined by soloists Samanta Lestavel (Soprano), Elizabeth Cooper (Mezzo-Soprano), Joshua Oxley (Tenor) and Tristan Entwistle (Bass)

Blue Mountains City council have recently replaced the audience seating at Wentworth Falls with new raked seating, which is plush and comfortable. The front two rows X and A are on the ground and available for those who need level access. If you need assisted access please click one of the wheelchair marked spaces and we will contact you to make arrangements. The best seats for view and accoustics are probably a few rows back (say D and E), but all the seats are good and the accoustic is generous all the way to the rear of the hall with uninterrupted sightlines to the performers.
