Born in 1804, Louise Farrenc was a true French Romantic whose works are earning – again – a huge following. Her unique Piano Quintet (1839), utilizing string bass, reflects and complements Schubert’s immortal “Trout” Quintet, a work employing the same musical forces. Firebrand American composer Jessie Montgomery proves that less is more with her delightful ode to friendship, Duo for Violin and Cello.

Sounds of Stow - Timeless Tidings
The chorus and orchestra will perform John Rutter’s Gloria!, in celebration of Rutter’s 80th birthday, as well as additional works by Vaughan Williams, Finzi, Bernstein, Britten, and Faure.
Rutter’s Gloria!, with its rousing rhythms, was his first big “hit” for chorus and orchestra. We will have an excellent brass section to do full justice to this irresistible music. Also on the program are works by three other British composers – Gerald Finzi’s In Terra Pax, full of rich and striking harmonies.Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on Christmas Carols, selected movements of Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols and Gabriel Faure’s beloved Cantique de Jean Racine. The final movement of Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms concludes with this fervent hope: “Behold how good, and how pleasant it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity.” Such a timely and moving message
