516-586-3433 or jamesarts@att.net
Choral works by composer Dan Locklair will be presented by Sospiri in a Monday, October 1 concert at Merton College Chapel in Oxford, England.
This event is sponsored by Convivium Records to celebrate the recent release of Locklair’s Gloria (Sacred Choral Works) CD (CD033). The choral ensemble Sospiri will perform the composer’s works from the recording, including, Ubi caritas, Remembrance, Lord Jesus, Think on Me and The Lord Bless You and Keep You.
In addition to Sospiri, there will also be other British musicians involved in the concert, including director Christopher Watson, Malcolm Archer, the organ/trumpet duo Illumina (performing Dan’s work) and choirs of Christ Church, Oxford. Locklair will be in the audience for the concert.
The concert will conclude with the massive 40-voice motet, Spem in Alium, by English Renaissance composer, Thomas Tallis. Due to its size and complexity, performances of this unique choral composition are rarely heard in public performance.
Other repertoire on the program includes new works by David Bednall and Thomas Hewitt-Jones.
The October 1 concert is free and open to the public. For more information, visit https://www.merton.ox.ac.uk/chapel-choir.
Dan Locklair's music is widely performed throughout the U.S. and around the world. His catalog includes symphonic works, a ballet, an opera, chamber, instrumental, vocal and choral compositions. Locklair's commissioned compositions have been performed by musicians worldwide, including the Helsinki Philharmonic, the Buffalo Philharmonic, the Kansas City Symphony, the St. Louis Orchestra, the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys of New York City and the Saint Paul’s Cathedral Choir of London. Broadcasts of it have included Vatican Radio, Czech Radio, Radio Finland, NPR, the BBC and the CBC. His other recent CD is the critically acclaimed Tapestries, Choral Music of Dan Locklair on MSR Classics (MS 1463). Recordings of his works are also available on Naxos, Ondine, Koch, Albany, Loft, Priory (UK) and other labels. His primary publishers are Ricordi and Subito. Dan Locklair is Composer-in-Residence and Professor of Music at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
