Part 2
Petroc Trelawny presents the conclusion of a concert from St Giles Cripplegate. Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Singers/David Hill in music by Gabriel Jackson, Petr Eben, Part, Bob Chilcott, Thierry Escaich.
St Giles' Church, in London's Barbican, is one of only a few such places in this country which can boast two complete and well-equipped organs in the same building - unlike some Continental countries, especially France, where it's much more common. In this live Performance on 3, the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Singers and David Hill explore some of the sacred repertoire which makes use of these musical resourses - including two splendidly exuberant settings of the mass by French composers, Arvo Part's setting of a plainsong hymn, and the first performance of a new piece by Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Singers' new Associate Composer, Gabriel Jackson. In addition, solo works for two organs by two 20th-century masters of the instrument, and motets for double choir. Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
