450 years of triumphs in English madrigals
Featuring English madrigals during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, Viva Oriana highlights some of the best works from “The Triumphs of Oriana” (1601) and “Choral Songs in honour of Her Majesty Queen Victoria” (1899). As lyrical tunes spanning the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries by celebrated composers Thomas Morley, Robert Lucas Pearsall, Edward Elgar and many others unfold old British tales, a capella voices with poems retold will take you to revisit old times of England. This programme is part of the English Madrigal Theatrical Series by SingFest. A continuing episode, “Remembrance of things past”, is coming up in July.
SingFest is proactive in promoting choral music through the highest quality of performances. We believe innovation is the key to keeping classical choral arts alive. As we strive to present finest performances, not only are we pursuing artistic standards in musical aspects but a broader theatrical context. Our emphasis on theatrical elements has been manifested in our recent productions, receiving wide acclaim.
