Renaissance choral music for ANZAC Day 2003

"Composures"

Friday 25 April 2003, 2.30pm

National War Memorial
Buckle St
Wellington

Directed by Alastair Carey

various composers: sacred works by Bach, Victoria, Gibbons and Philips

Within the liturgical year, the season of Lent focuses primarily on themes of departure, recollection and penitence. Holy Week, leading up to the Crucifixion on Good Friday, has inspired some of sacred music's most inspired compositions.

This ANZAC Day meditation in music at the National War Memorial Hall of Memories presents a selection of the most moving Lenten music, written by the finest composers of the Renaissance period.
