CONCERT REVIEW
Christmas music in the Cathedral
Bach's Christmas Oratorio was performed in stunning fashion by the Dyfed Choir in the Cathedral - this great masterpiece has a real spring in it's step, with his dancing tempi in each part of the piece. Music in West Wales gained an accolade as this Dyfed Choir concert was selected by BBC Music Magazine as 'one to catch', and the music lived up to everyone's expectations - not least as a result of the expert direction of Christopher Barton and tuition from Dr Stuart Evans. Christopher took the podium following the departure of Alexander Mason from St Davids cathedral last August.
The performance was accompanied by the early music group Charivari Agréable - fifteen musicians playing 18th century instruments as used in Bach's time. The group, directed by the charismatic Kah-Ming Ng, perform at Oxford functions as well as concert halls worldwide. Their sound, particularly from the trumpets, of which three were playing, is authentic to the time of composition and provides a perfect and unbeatable musical setting for the piece.
The performance was enhanced by four superb soloists, all who are making waves in the music world. Natalie Clifton-Griffith, soprano, has sung with the Dyfed Choir on previous occasions, and Alexandra Gibson, contralto, Mark Dobell, tenor, and Philip Tebb, bass all performed to international standard.
Those who got to St Davids for the performance might well have also listened to The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment singing the work in St John's Smith Square on Radio 3 (Thurs Dec 22), and will have soon realised that the St Davids performance was more than a match for that done in London. The Dyfed choristers were as accurate and polished as those from Cambridge, with a tad more oomph in the choruses which asked for it.
The Choir is open to new singers and has a scholarship programme for young singers. Details and future concert programme on www.dyfedchoir.org.uk

Saturday 17th December 2011, 7.30, St Davids Cathedral
| Christmas Oratorio J S Bach Conductor: Christopher Barton Charivari Agréable Simfonie |  |
There's no more appropriate piece of music for December than J S Bach's Christmas Oratorio, and the wonderful acoustic of St Davids Cathedral will reverberate with the Dyfed Choir, accompanied by the skilled musicians of Charivari Agréable, and a line-up of acclaimed soloists on Saturday December 17th (7.30pm).
The choir performs this work every five years or so, and each time the event reveals new delights and challenges.
The performance will be conducted by Christopher Barton, Organist and Master of Choristers at Newport Cathedral, with soloists Natalie Clifton -Griffith, soprano; Alexandra Gibson, mezzo; Mark Dobell, tenor; and Philip Tebb, bass.
Natalie, who is enjoying a glittering career with a long and close association with the group Ex Cathedra, at the BBC Proms and festival programmes across Europe, is no stranger to St Davids Cathedral, and indeed has performed with the Dyfed Choir last year in the Brahms German Requiem and, as a last minute substitute, for the indisposed Grace Davidson in the Haydn St Nicholas Mass and Handel Dettingen Te Deum last July.
Alexandra Gibson
Mark Dobell
Philip, our bass soloist, last year made his Wigmore Hall debut singing as soloist in Bach's G Minor Mass with the King's Consort, conducted by Robert King.
Charivari Agréable was formed in the University of Oxford in 1993 and within a year became a prize winner of the International Early Music Competition, made its debut at the Wigmore Hall and recorded the first of many concerts for BBC Radio 3. The group, whose name comes from Saint-Lambert's 1707 treatise on accompaniment and translates as 'pleasant tumult', has subsequently recorded in New York and for many European radio stations, produced some acclaimed CDs, yet still enjoy performing at many Oxford functions such as college rectors/fellow's birthday parties, corporate functions and recently featured at a candlelit blacktie dinner for the pop group Duran Duran! Charivari Agréable is directed by Kah-Ming Ng.

St Davids Cathedral
Choral works and cantatas by Modest Mussorgsky
with Voskresenije - Russian Chamber Choir
Choral works and cantatas by Modest Mussorgsky
with Voskresenije - Russian Chamber Choir
Tickets £15 (front nave) £12 (rear nave) and £8 (unreserved side aisles;
under-16s free in side aisles)
 |
This Russian concert was divided into three parts, each which had its own character. The first consisted of the Voskresenije Choir, led by their conductor Jurij Maruk, performing a series of religious works written by Russian composers of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Each of the seven pieces, including composers Rachmaninov, Chesnokov, Arkhangelsky, Ippolitov-Ivanov and Christov all sung unaccompanied, was performed with the utmost balance by the nine choristers in a vocal blend which was truly outstanding.
The second part showed the individual talents of each of the performers in music known to many, from opera to the sacred repertoire, and each soloist was accompanied by pianist Gillian Spragg.
The final part included the Dyfed Choir in the performance of the two Mussorgsky cantatas, the Destruction of Sennacherib and Joshua (Iisus Navin in Russian). sung with accuracy and verve to a tempo which gained real approval from the large and appreciative audience.
Mussorgsky (1839 - 1881), a contemporary of Rimsky-Korsakov, is best known for his opera Boris Godunov and, for piano, Pictures at an Exhibition. The Destruction of Sennacherib, composed 1866 - 1867, is in a simple three-part form with ferocious outer sections flanking a more measured choral central section. The work is based on Byron's poem of the same name, with the opening lines:
"The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee."
The rhythm of the poem has a feel of the beat of a galloping horse's hooves as the Assyrian rides into battle.
Joshua was salvaged from his previously abandoned setting of the exotic novel Salammbô by Gustave Flaubert and completed in 1877.
Modest Mussorgsky was a complex character who, like many others of his time, gained much of his inspiration from the folk music heard in childhood, and his compositions are described as 'going straight to the mark', be they sardonic, humorous or tender.
The characteristic Russian sound, with huge emphasis on the profundo bass and soaring soprano, creates music that is inordinately exciting, and the Dyfed Choir looks forward to the performance with great anticipation.

Natalie Clifton-Griffith, Soprano; Mark Begbie, Bass;
Piano: Jocelyn Freeman; Matthew Fletcher

800th Anniversary Concert for St Mary's, Tenby
Saturday 23rd October 2010
Writing in the Tenby Observer Dr John Harrison said: The concert began in splendid manner with Handel's Zadok the Priest, the best known of his coronation anthems composed in 1727. This was followed by an organ solo played by Simon Pearce, assistant organist at St Davids cathedral, followed by Viderunt Omnes by Perotin, a fascinating example of the kind of music which might have been around in the early years of St Mary's Church. The first half ended with another Handel Coronation anthem - The King Shall Rejoice. The second part consisted of a performance of the Requiem by Maurice Durufle (1902 - 1986). This deeply felt and personal work was written in 1947 in memory of the composer's father. In this piece the melodic character of the music is largely drawn from Gregorian Chant. This provided an interesting link with Perotin's music in the first half. The Requiem includes a testing and powerful Pie Jesu which demonstrated mezzo-soprano Sue Howley's magnificent range and musical interpretation. As she allowed the piece to grow, all who had the privilege to be present were moved in a way that only powerful music can provoke. The Tenby Observer said 'Together with inspired direction and organ playing, this [concert] further confirmed the Dyfed Choir's well deserved reputation as one of the finest in Wales."

VOICES AND BRASS
Saturday, July 10, 2010
This highly successful concert not only attracted a considerable audience - it kept it's promise of having them on the edge of their seats. The choir were accompanied by the professional Bluestone Brass, a group of a dozen players who created a superb and exciting atmosphere. This was enriched by two young, local, award winning musicians whose talent was simply breath-taking. Catherine Hare on flute and Philip Howells on marimba displayed a virtuosity which made this concert a real success.
Programme
Most of the content of the psalm is a prayer for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem, and its use in the coronation service clearly draws a parallel between Jerusalem and the United Kingdom, as William Blake had in his poem Jerusalem.
Parry's version was written for the coronation of King Edward VII and revised in 1911 for that of King George V, when the familiar introduction was added. This setting employs antiphonal choir effects and brass fanfares.
Between 1884-87 Anton Bruckner was absorbed in his immense Eighth Symphony, and had little time to compose much else, but the few works which were created at that time were filled with imagination and verve, and Ecce Sacerdos Magnus is the most arresting of these pieces. From its very opening, impassioned in utterance and almost barbaric in its opulence, it is a vital, almost militant, assertion of Faith.
Giavanni Gabrieli (1554-1612) was organist and choirmaster at St Mark's Basilica from 1585-1612, and composed many church motets in the 'cori spezzati' style. The complexity of the basilica allowed him to place musical ensembles in different positions which provided the challenge of composing works that integrated these interwoven parts, and in this unique performance, arranged by Alexander Mason, Cathedral organist and choir master, the choir is similarly interwoven with all the elements of the brass ensemble - an interpretation ideally suited to the acoustics and resonance of St Davids Cathedral.
Tickets: Seats £10 in the nave, and £7 in side aisles
 Among the pieces she will be playing in Voices with Brass in St Davids Cathedral is 'In Ireland', composed by Hamilton Harty.  | Flautist Catherine Hare joins The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain this year, and will be playing in the BBC Proms season at the Royal Albert Hall. Catherine's career has seamlessly progressed from her time at Greenhill School, Tenby. The Saundersfoot musician was principal flute of both The National Youth Orchestra and National Wind Orchestra of Wales at the age of 15, and prior to this was selected and played with the The National Children’s Orchestra. She is presently a pupil at Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester. Percussionist Philip Howells |

St John Passion J S BACH
St Davids Cathedral, Saturday March 27, 2010
Siona Stockel soprano |  Alexander Mason conducts the Menevia Consort, leader Barry Haskey, with the Dyfed Choir, in the afternoon session |
Dyfed Choir Easter Concert excels
Bach's St John Passion is a work that builds to the climax of the crucifixion, and the performance on Saturday given by the Dyfed Choir made this a pin-drop moment in St Davids Cathedral. The conductor, Alexander Mason, who is also Master of the Choristers at St Davids, created a solemn and powerful rendering of this major choral work. His choice of soloists, which included the superb tenor John McMunn singing the Evangelist, provided yet another concert under his direction which invites the superlative.
The fifteen strong Menevia Consort, led by Barry Haskey, have been involved with the Dyfed Choir for 25 and more years. There's confidence on both sides, which brings out the best from all musicians. The flute accompaniment to soprano Siona Stockel was just one of a number of moments where the meaning and texture were truly visible.
The Choir invested considerable time and funds in staging this major performance and the results, in terms of the appreciation by the considerable audience present, certainly paid off. These events always require a great deal of management and a modicum of luck. There is not much time for the various participants - director, orchestra, choir and five soloists - to gel, and the contribution of the Cathedral staff themselves, including the Dean, Jonathan Lean, who himself sang with the Choir for many years, is another vital factor.
For more than 40 years, under the direction of some half dozen music directors, the Dyfed Choir has produced some outstanding performances, and this Easter Passion concert can be numbered among them. The Choir meets once a week, in Narberth, come from all parts of West Wales, with the purpose of creating top quality music in about six concerts a year. The next, again in St Davids Cathedral, is on Sat July 10. The Choir will be singing music by Rutter, Parry and Chilcot. Bluestone Brass will perform, as will the award winning young musicians of Pembrokeshire. All information, including details of joining as a chorister or a patron, is on www.dyfedchoir.co.uk

Christmas Music All Saints Llanelli
The Dyfed Choir's Christmas Concert is a well loved musical event which in 2009, was performed in All Saints Church, Llanelli. This huge church dates from 1874, was enlarged in 1888, and is an excellent venue for concerts.
The programme involved musicians from two local schools, Ysgol y Castell Kidwelly, and Lakefield Primary in Llanelli.
The Choir performed two main works - the Messe de Minuit by Charpentier, and Vaughan Williams 'Fantasia on Christmas Carols', with soloists from the choir. In addition the Choir sang a selection of carols including William Matthias's A Babe is Born, Suo Gan, and John Rutter's arrangement of Sans Day Carol. Together with popular congregational carols, the Dyfed Choir's Music for Christmas in Llanelli provided a musical launching pad of cheer for the season, an evening of warmth and good will.

Saturday, October 17, 2009 St Davids Cathedral Rachmaninov Vespers St Davids Cathedral
Russian concert was musical triumph
This concert had a certain edge, as the conductor and director for the occasion, Jurij Maruk, speaks very limited English. Moreover, Rachmaninov's music is highly fluid, with dramatic changes of tempo and dynamic volume in the space of a few notes, all which requires the chorus to follow the conductor's every inflection. The packed Cathedral audience were 'warmed up' in the first half with solos from each of the eight singing guests, all who live, perform and study in St Petersburg. Each accompanied by piano, gave really outstanding performances. For some in the audience the prize went to Andrey Drosha, the tenor, others preferred the contralto Jana Volkonskaya, while Anatoly Artimanov the basso profundo was always the winner in many eyes. They were then to hear the results of adding the powerful Dyfed Choir singers to the scene. The fifteen part Vespers is performed unaccompanied, and conductor Jurij confined his tonal direction to a quick ping of a tuning fork on the hand and a discreet hum for each part. Rachmaninov revels in pushing the bass note to subterranean depths, and the Dyfed bassers, reinforced by Artimanov, produced a rumble of extraordinary proportions. Crucial to the success of the evening was the Russian interpreter Luda Lewis from Templeton, who linked conductor with choir in both two rehearsals. Next St Davids performance is Bach's St John Passion on March 27, 2010.
| Russian interpreter Luda, Voskresenije conductor Jurij and Anne George, who masterminded the concert, discuss details prior to the outstanding performance |  |
