Felix Mendelssohn: Hebrides Overture, op. 26
Joseph Haydn: Te Deum in C, Hob. XXIIIc:2
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Exsultate, jubilate, K.165*; Requiem in D minor, K.626
Mendelssohn’s windswept paean to the Hebrides is an orchestral icon of early Romantic orchestral music. Haydn’s short but splendid Te Deum in C finds the Sherborne Festival Chorus in full voice and Mozart’s Exsultate, jubilate – sung by the Chorus’s regular soloist Amelia Monaghan – promises to be both beautiful and uplifting. Mozart’s mighty final commission, the Requiem, brings our opening night to a dramatic close.
