The Eye of The Storm
The Choir of Newman College Concert Series
The Choir of Newman College would like to invite you to the third in its series of concerts on the four elements: earth, water, air and fire. The Eye of the Storm explores how air – from raging winds to gentle zephyrs – is depicted in music from the court of Louis XIV at Versailles. The concert incorporates the three storm scenes from Rameau’s opera, Hippolyte et Aricie, the tempests of Gilles’ Diligam te Domine and the Spirit-inspired winds of Delalande’s Veni Creator Spiritus. In the centre of the program – in the eye of the surrounding storms – we have a piece of utter stillness by Marc-Antoine Charpentier. The Choir of Newman College is accompanied by the strings of the widely acclaimed Melbourne Baroque Orchestra, performing on period instruments.
Featuring:
- Jean-Philippe Rameau – the storm scenes from Hippolyte et Aricie
- Marc-Antoine Charpentier ‘Nuit’ from In nativitatem Dominum Canticum, H416
- Michel-Richard Delalande Veni Creator spiritus
- Jean Gilles Diligam te Domine
