The meeting of two choirs Lower Normandy for "Journey to the Hereafter"
The first weekend of choral singing from the chorus "Cosedia Cantabile Coutances and" Brass band "Bayeux just taken place the last weekend (Saturday, February 28 / Sunday, March 1) at the Centre d'Animation "The Unelli" in Coutances (with the help of the town of Coutances and Music in Normandy).
At the initiative of their respective choir, Fabrice Larcher (Coutances) and Isabelle roquia (Bayeux), the 90 singers of both choirs together have benefited from two days of intensive rehearsals and training in vocal technique, first group a beautiful series. This grouping
chorale was also an opportunity to continue the current educational project with the implementation of learning vocal, analytical and historical, using the skills of outside, pointed in their field.
This first weekend was therefore an opportunity to hone learning works chosen for the 3 concerts that are scheduled together on the weekend of Pentecost in prestigious venues:
• Friday, May 30: Church of St. John Caen • Sunday, May 31: Cathedral of Coutances (under scheduling of the Municipal Theatre of Coutances) • Monday 01 June: Cathedral Bayeux
The recipe for these concerts is simple: a famous work, the "Requiem" by Mozart, then this notion of time travel with two other works on the same theme, "Begräbnisgesang" (Song of the grave) by Brahms, Romantic composer, and a third, twentieth century this time, "Ode to Death" (Ode to death) by Holst. This journey time will be held upside down for spectators, as the musicians begin with the twentieth century to reach the Enlightenment. This grand concert will be accompanied by a symphony orchestra consisting of professional musicians.
friendly aspect was not left with hosting Bayeusains Coutançais in singers, the evening dinner together and spent a framework to Unelli perfect. These were many moments of pleasure and complicity universally appreciated, needed to create the link before boarding on stage together!
