Skylight – Journey to the Stars with Serenata
Let Serenata take you on a musical journey to the stars and back with their concert on Sunday July 14th at 7.30pm in Holy Trinity Church, Balsham.
Skylight explores aspects of celestial light from the sun, moon and stars through glorious songs written exclusively for upper voices. The programme includes pieces by American, Canadian, Norwegian, Singapore, British and French composers, spread across the globe but living beneath a common sky, who find inspiration in the vast expanse above us all.
Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion.
(words by Rabindranath Tagore, set to music by Marie-Claire Saindon in ‘Light’)
A cosmic canopy of energising and uplifting music awaits you and includes short works by Morten Lauridsen, Sarah Quartel, Elaine Hagenburg, Jacob Narverud, Erik Essenvalds, Marie-Claire Saindon, Benjamin Britten and Debussy. You will also hear familiar favourites Fly me to the Moon, Here Comes the Sun and Another Day of Sun (from La La Land).
