Event M12: Chichester Singers Summer Concert: “My Spirit Sang All Day”

My Spirit Sang All Day – Gerald Finzi
Howard Goodall – Unconditional Love
Sacred & Secular part songs

Howard Goodall, a composer who has become a household name through his TV scores for The Vicar of Dibley, Blackadder and Mr Bean, is at heart a choral composer. Unconditional Love was written at the height of the Covid pandemic and is at its core a work of gratitude, remembrance and of hope for a world rebuilt. Alongside this fine contemporary work are motets and part-songs spanning the 16th to 20th centuries, the whole programme encapsulated by the title of Gerald Finzi’s little masterpiece My Spirit Sang All Day.
