SUMMARY:Market Sunday Concert
DESCRIPTION:Tea and sausages available from 11.30am. \nMozart’s Vespers \nThe music this Market Sunday Concert features the Armidale Choral Society singing Mozart’s Vesperae Sollenes  (Solemn Vespers). \nAlthough this work adopts the solemn text of the Vespers service\, the music sets out to imitate the words with beautiful sounds to reflect the texts. The result offers some sparkling music that shows Mozart at his brilliant best. \nMozart manages to set the solemn purpose of worship in a joyous exercise in praise of God.  The truly solemn song at the centre of this set of pieces is the very famous Laudate Dominum for soprano solo. \nThis work will be conducted by Graham Maddox and accompanied by Robyn Bradley.  There will be a local soloist and a quartet of solo voices from among the Choristers.
