Part 2
Petroc Trelawny presents the conclusion of a concert from St Giles Cripplegate. 91热爆 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 91热爆 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 91热爆 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.
