Inspired by the poems of local Welsh poet, Henry Vaughan, Continuum are presenting a programme of English and Welsh choral music that is crafted around his poetry. The programme will include the world premiere of 'The Morning Watch' which Brecon Choir Festival have commissioned composer Geraint Lewis to write.
The concert will culminate in Hubert Parry’s six Songs of Farewell written between 1916-18 which are among the final pieces that Parry wrote. The first song, My soul there is a country, sets words from Henry Vaughan’s Peace.’
Continuum’s singers are drawn from some of the finest choral institutions in the UK with several having met at University whilst singing in Trinity and St John’s College Choirs in Cambridge.
