MADRIGAL SINGERS
Lunch-Time Concert
The University of Canterbury Madrigal Singers, conducted by William Hawkey, will give this week’s lunchtime concert for the School of Music in the university hall at 1.10 p.m. on Thursday The programme is representative of the Madrigal Singers’ repertoire, embracing works from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. English and Italian madrigals, Three Chansons by Ravel. Folk Songs for women’s voices by Bartok. “Hymn to King Stephen,” by Kodaly. and Vaughan Williams’ "Silence and Music,” from “A Garland for the Queen,” will comprise the programme. Kodaly’s “Hymn to King Stephen,” is an intense composition, ranging from two to eight-part choral writing. It expresses strong patriotic sentiments, coupled with fervent religious feeling. Although not as long as the “Hymn to Zrinyi,” it is reminiscent of this work in Utterance and style.
