Cantus Ensemble
St Gabriel's Church, Pimlico, SW1V 4QF , [Venue Details]Join the Cantus Ensemble for an evocative and stirring programme of works for All Souls' Day, with Maurice Duruflé's moving and iconic setting of the Requiem Mass at its heart.
For this first concert of the 2024-25 season, we perform in our home church of St Gabriel's, Pimlico, which offers the perfect acoustic for Poulenc's Litanies à la Vierge Noire, a deeply moving choral work that blends mysticism with intimacy. Composed after a personal tragedy, its haunting harmonies evoke a meditative, reverent atmosphere, like a quiet, soulful plea.
Woven from the ancient roots of Gregorian chant, Duruflé’s Messe Cum Jubilo, scored for male voices and organ, brings a deep, resonant, almost sacred warmth. With flowing melodies and his own harmonic twists, Duruflé creates a serene yet unexpectedly powerful sound.
