Four Funerals and a Wedding

Join the Metropolitan Chorale for a program centered around the universal experiences of loss, mourning and joy. Four works by English composers, each associated with the death of a prominent historical figure, are followed by the jubilant rite of passage that is Pinkham’s Wedding Cantata.

The program will include:

• Henry Purcell: Funeral music of Queen Mary
  
• John Tavener: Song for Athene
  
• Herbert Howells: Take Him, Earth, for Cherishing
  
• Howard Goodall: Eternal Light: Lacrymosa: Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
  
• Morten Lauridsen: Soneta de la Noche
  
• Daniel Pinkham: Wedding Cantata
  

The Metropolitan Chorale is a 100-voice auditioned chorus that is recognized as one of Metro Boston’s premier choral ensembles. In addition to musical excellence, the Chorale is known for its camaraderie and diverse programming.
