Last weekend, Gloriae Dei Cantores presented two concerts of the Mozart Requiem and Britten’s rarely performed, The Company of Heaven. As wonderful as the Mozart Requiem is, the overwhelming response to the Britten was particularly gratifying. We had large crowds at each concert and the soloists were an excellent team. We had a good review from the Cape Cod Times:(http://www.capecodtimes.com/entertainment/20161030/review-obscure-and-familiar-from-gloriae-dei-cantores). People were struck by the cumulative power of the combination of texts and music in the Britten and all of us are certainly hoping that more performances will come of this. Every performance is a learning experience for the choir and here doing two large works took focus on vocal stamina as well as telling the story to communicate the message of each piece. Now the choir looks forward to the services of Advent Lessons and Carols on November 25 and 26th.
