Hide AdIn the Requiem, composer Jenkins interjects movements featuring Japanese death poems in the form of a haiku (short unrhymed lines that evoke natural imagery). At times, the Latin text is sung below the text of the haiku.
The programme will also include Edgar Bainton’s And I saw a new heaven and Hubert Parry’s My soul there is a country.
This will be the first time that the Bakewell Choral Society as a whole has performed in this beautiful church.
