The choral pilgrimage 2022: Concert Various

Approved

The Sixteen's 2022 Choral Pilgrimage is centred around Hubert Parry's powerful 'Songs of Farewell'. Alongside this emotional work are three pieces by poet and lutenist Thomas Campion, Herbert Howells's 'Take him, earth for cherishing, and a new work by award-winning composer Cecilia McDowall.

The Choral Pilgrimage 2022: An Old Belief

Hubert Parry’s Songs of Farewell must surely rank among some of the finest choral works ever written. Deeply affected by the First World War, Parry sought poetry that would reflect not only peace and unity and the search for a better world, but also an escape from the horrors of war.

The poems Parry chose to set are sublime, be they metaphysical poetry by John Donne and Henry Vaughan or the aching beauty of Thomas Campion’s verse. Perfectly complementing the rich sonority of Parry’s Songs are three short pieces by Campion, a selection of medieval carols and a new work by Cecilia McDowall.
