Join us as we present two British masterworks inspired in part by the
revival of the Renaissance polyphonic style of such composers as
Thomas Tallis and William Byrd. Ralph Vaughan Williamss beautiful Mass
in G minor is written in a modal style that evokes the past, while
Herbert Howellss sublime Requiem employs impressionistic sonorities to
achieve its overwhelming emotional effect. These two works, like those
of their predecessors, envelop the listener in a unique sound world
shaped by the pure choral timbre that reverberated through the soaring
architecture of Britains many cathedrals and chapels. 8 pm Friday
February 28, 2020 at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 1111 O'Farrell St at
Franklin, San Francisco. Other Cal Bach events Cost: 10.00 to 30.00
