The Gaudete Singers return to Saint Bartholomew’s this Saturday for their spring concert, “Vinea Mea Electa: Music for Lent by Poulenc and Vaughan Williams.” This performance will showcase two sacred masterpieces of the early twentieth century that, although both contemporary, represent very different and contrasting styles. “Vinea Mea Electa” is the second of Francis Poulec’s “Quatre motets pour un temps de penitence”, a series of four Lenten motets produced during a period of mourning for his friend and fellow composer Pierre-Octave Ferroud. The Gaudete Singers will perform all four of these motets before moving on to Ralph Vaughan Williams’s “Mass in G minor.” Although Vaughan Williams was a self-declared agnostic, he composed several well-received liturgical pieces throughout his career. “Mass in G minor” reflects the influence of Byrd and Tallis, but in the distinctive twentieth century style for which Vaughan Williams is known.

Tickets are €20 (€15 concession; €5 students) and available at the door. Payment may be made by cash or card. All tickets include a glass of wine or soft drink after the concert.
