Haydn, Mozart and Bruckner

Holy Trinity Sloane Street, Kensington

Canticum’s joyful summer concert focuses on Austrian sacred music of the 18th and 19th centuries, accompanied by two violins, cello, bass and chamber organ.

A work of the composer’s maturity, Haydn’s Little Organ Mass is remarkably succinct, while Mozart’s Missa Brevis in F is more festive and an astonishing achievement for an 18-year-old in its handling of motifs and counterpoint.
Canticum will also perform Mozart’s deeply moving
Ave verum corpus, composed less than six months
before his death.

Interspersed with these Classical masterpieces are five of Bruckner’s Motets. These beautiful a cappella choruses, composed over nearly a quarter of a century, hark back to Gregorian chant and Palestrina, the liturgical prince of the Counter-Reformation.
