Women of Note - Nine centuries of music by female composers

St Georges Singers, Poynton

Female composers are not rare; just rarely performed. For centuries, it was almost impossible for women composers to have their voices heard as serious musicians. This concert features a selection of the many choral works written by women from medieval times to the present day:

VIttoria Aleotti Three madrigals

Hildegard of Bingen O Euchari and O Viridissima virga

Cecilia McDowall A Fancy of Folksongs

Sasha Johnson Manning War's Embers

Fanny Mendelssohn Gartenlieder: Six part songs

Roxanna Panufnik Coronation Sanctus

Clara Schumann Three part songs

Conductor: Neil Taylor

Piano: Peter Durrant
