Paul Patterson’s Magnificat, a work written for brass ensemble, percussion and organ, is both dramatic and exciting, displaying rhythmic variety and instrumental colour.
The programme will also include three glorious motets by Anton Bruckner: Locus iste for unaccompanied choir, Afferentur regi for choir and trombones, and the majestic Ecce sacerdos for choir, trombones and organ which may be familiar to listeners as it was performed by the Monteverdi Choir at the coronation of King Charles III in May 2023.
Instrumental pieces for brass ensemble and organ will also feature in the concert.
