Tippett: A Child of Our Time & Bach: Magnificat

  • Church of Christ the Cornerstone 300 Saxon Gate Milton Keynes, England, MK9 2ES United Kingdom (map)

Soloist: Ana Beard Fernandez

Conductor: Adrian Boynton

Cornerstone Chamber Choir, Orchestra and Soloists offer a double bill of Bach Magnificat and Tippett 'A Child of our Time.' The sheer ebullience and joy - not to mention wit and humour - of Bach's great setting of the Magnificat text contrasts with the emotion and power of Tippett's masterpiece which speaks so movingly of the need for reconciliation and forgiveness in a divided world. The heartfelt Spirituals which underpin "A Child of our Time' add poignancy to this amazing work.
