Exeter Festival Chorus Perform Jenkins & Poulenc

Jenkins: Stabat Mater
Poulenc: Gloria

In our Easter concert, we give the first Exeter performance of Karl Jenkins' new work, Stabat Mater. The work is described as a 'universal depiction of grief', stretching beyond the purely Western European tradition, though based around the 13th century Latin text, recording the sorrow of Mary as she stands at the foot of the Cross. The sombre mood of this work is contrasted with the jubilant exultation of Poulenc's wonderful Gloria.

Conducted by Nigel Perrin
