 Schumann, Brahms, Barber Saturday 13th March - 8pm Xavier College Chapel, Kew The 19th-century revival of unaccompanied choral music began in Germany, principally in quest of the 'purity of tone' that characterised the music of Palestrina and his contemporaries. Major composers soon began to write new works for the choral societies that sprang up everywhere, both Schumann and Brahms contributing significantly. Choral music is also a significant part of Barber's output, including the popular Agnus Dei, which he adapted from a movement of his first string quartet. |
