One of the city’s oldest musical groups here invites enthusiasts to join them in an afternoon workshop and informal performance of Mendelssohn’s Hymn Of Praise, which premiered in 1840.
“We will be focused, of course, on the cantata part,” says Birmingham Bach Choir’s conductor, Paul Spicer, “singing in English, for which Mendelssohn assembled passages from Luther’s translation of the Bible that show the progression of light to darkness.
With fabulous choruses, soprano and tenor solos, and the familiar Now Thank We All Our God, this will be a rewarding sing for all who come.”
