Bach’s Magnificat is one of his most popular works, with five part chorus, five soloists and full baroque orchestra complete with trumpets and timpani. Handel’s Dettingen Te Deum, the hymn of praise written as a thanksgiving for the victory at the battle of Dettingen, similarly resounds with trumpets and an exultant sound. An outstanding line-up of soloists will join the choir. The choral works will be complemented by Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No 3, a showpiece for the strings, and Handel’s delightful Organ Concerto ‘‘The cuckoo and the nightingale’, with its lovely evocation of bird song. The solo part in the organ concerto will be played by George Castle. Andrew Lumsden will conduct and bring his usual passion and precision to the performance.
