celebrates the impulse to pray and to praise – an
impulse shared by people from all over the world.
This new work, from the renowned UK choral group
The Clerks, combines pre-recorded and live music
to create a 12-hour collage of sounds, voices and music.
Listen
From 10am, specially-recorded material from faith
communities around Brighton and Hove is interwoven
with pre-recorded music from diverse cultures and the
universal poetry of the psalms to create a unique
tapestry of sound.
From 8pm, the diverse elements of the collage
coalesce into a live performance by The Clerks,
featuring 16th-century English composer John
Taverner’s sumptuous Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas and
a new work by Jonathan Green.
“Marvellously refined and expressive performances…
an admirable example of a programme offering both
unity and diversity.” The Times
