Four Hands For Voices

The Cantabile Singers present Four Hands For Voices as part of the Estes Park Music Festival on Sunday, November 7th at 2:00 pm.
Stanley Hotel
333 Wonderview Avenue
Estes Park CO 80517

This program will include a performance of Brahms’ Liebeslieder Waltzes Op. 52 and other works for chorus and 4-hand one piano accompaniment by Diemer, Gilbert & Sullivan and others, and will feature Stella Pradeau, Collaborative Pianist, and Elizabeth Smith, Guest Pianist.

Cantabile will be joining with the Boulder Symphony Orchestra this fall to present Franz Schubert’s Mass in G, on Saturday, November 13th at 7:30 pm at Mountain View United Methodist Church, 355 Ponca Place in Boulder.

In addition to the Schubert Mass, the orchestra will be performing Exchanging Glances, by Chip Clark, and Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 in C minor.

The Mass in G Major was written early in 1815 when Franz Schubert was just 18 years old and first performed in the same year in the Viennese parish church of Lichtental.

The Mass has an intimate character heightened by the chamber scoring for three vocal soloists, a string orchestra and organ. Wind parts were added to the Mass by Schubert’s brother Ferdinand which was first published in Prague in 1846 and falsely attributed to Robert Führer.

This performance will use the Ferdinand Schubert orchestration orchestration of chorus, strings, woodwinds, trumpets, tympani and organ continuo.

Thanks to the Royal Free Music Society for permission to adapt material about the Mass in G.
