About
Bendigo Chamber Choir will celebrate 45 years of wonderful music making with a grand concert on Saturday October 17th in St Pauls Cathedral Bendigo at 4pm .
The main work on the program will be G.F.Handel's Dixit Dominus for choir, soloists and orchestra.
Composed in Rome in April 1707, Handel’s Dixit Dominus is a breathtaking setting of Psalm 110. Written when the composer was only 22, this virtuosic, eight-movement Baroque masterpiece showcases his precocious genius, pairing fiery Old Testament text with theatrical, operatic flair.
This is a demanding choral tour de force that pushes both singers and instrumentalists to the absolute limit.
The program also features music - Palestrina's glorious motet Tu es Petrus ,Abendlied by Josef Rheinberger, Waldesnacht by Brahms, Sing Gently by Eric Whitacre and Sure on this Shining Light by Morten Lauridsen.
