SUMMARY:Handel’s Messiah 2025
DESCRIPTION:World record 246th performance in Melbourne Town Hall\nThe 42nd Sir Bernard Heinze Memorial Concert\n\n“The Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra delivered another vibrant and polished reading. Music director Andrew Wailes conducted with precision and infectious energy urging the chamber-sized orchestra and 100-strong choir to some stirring renditions of the big choir pieces\, including the famous Hallelujah\, Glory to God and For unto us a Child is born. Wailes\, favouring brisk tempos\, made for exciting listening…” – The Age \n“Animation and attention to detail were distinctive features of this performance. The forward momentum established in the opening Sinfony never flagged. The RMP Choir sang with scores neatly closed by their sides for several key choruses\, alert to the subtleties of dynamics and tempo in Wailes’ direction. And there were plenty of those to keep the audience absorbed as the work assumed an unexpected freshness…  This was an experienced choir\, trained with painstaking care to form a disciplined ensemble… the final “Amen” chorus was greeted by such a prolonged standing ovation\, with cheers and whistles usually heard at sporting events” – Classic Melbourne \nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra presents Handel’s iconic Messiah for the world record 246th time since 1853. The world’s most-loved oratorio\, Messiah is famous for its sparkling arias\, powerful choruses\, and surging climaxes (including the magnificent Hallelujah! Chorus and the equally thrilling Amen! Chorus which concludes the work). Featuring over 120 talented musicians from the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra\, the grand Town Hall organ\, and a magnificent cast of outstanding Australian and International soloists\, this concert promises to thrill as ever under the direction of Andrew Wailes – widely regarded as one of Australia’s foremost exponents of this great work. \nThe RMP’s annual performance of this masterpiece is a much-anticipated highlight of Melbourne’s concert calendar. Don’t miss being part of this wonderful musical tradition. \n“Wailes made sure that the pace did not slacken… Wailes\, who cuts a dapper\, self-possessed figure on the podium\, showed an impressive compulsion\, driving his forces along with insistent power. It is hard to recall when this oratorio has been treated with such attention given to its dramatic potential; no singer – soloist or chorister – was given latitude to generate that fruity and orotund timbre familiar from performances of 20 years ago.” – Clive O’Connell (The Age) \nAndrew Wailes\, conductor\nSara Macliver\, soprano\nFiona Campbell\, mezzo soprano\nKyle Stegall\, tenor\nDavid Greco\, baritone\n\nAndrew Bainbridge\, chamber and grand organ \nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir \nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Orchestra

SUMMARY:Requiem for the Living and the RMP Aria Final
DESCRIPTION:Hear some of the nation’s finest young singers battle it out in the final of Australia’s most prestigious oratorio soloists award\, accompanied on piano\, as well as a spectacular orchestral performance of Dan Forrest’s stunning “Requiem for the Living” – a beautiful and uplifting work\, which has been hailed as “… a twenty-first century masterpiece”. \nRequiem for the Living is a major choral symphonic composition in five movements by young American composer Dan Forrest\, who is quickly emerging as one of that country’s most popular and important choral composers. Completed in 2013\, it is a non-conventional and extended setting of the Requiem Mass\, scored for boy soprano\, soprano\, choir and orchestra\, and organ. The Latin text that Forrest set combines sections from the Requiem with biblical texts from Ecclesiastes and the Book of Job. \nAbout Dan Forrest’s “REQUIEM FOR THE LIVING” “… a twenty-first century masterpiece”\n\nA Requiem\, at its core\, is a prayer for rest-traditionally\, for the deceased. The five movements of Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living\, (2013)\, however\, form a narrative just as much for the living\, and their own struggle with pain and sorrow\, as for those already departed. The opening movement sets the traditional Introit and Kyrie texts- pleas for rest and mercy- using ever-increasing elaborations on a simple three-note descending motive. The second movement\, instead of the traditional Dies Irae found in the traditional Catholic Mass for the Dead\, sets Scriptural texts that dramatically speak of the turmoil and sorrow which face humanity\, while yet invoking musical and textual allusions to the Dies Irae. According to the composer\, it bitterly portrays the problem of pain that we all wrestle with during our lives\, and which causes a crisis of faith for many people. It expounds on the “vanity of vanities\, all is vanity” refrain from Ecclesiastes\, with no small amount of anger and bitterness and “rage against the machine”. This movement juxtaposes aggressive modern rhythmic gestures with long\, floating melodic lines\, including quotes of the Kyrie from the first movement. The Agnus Dei is performed next (a departure from the usual liturgical order) as a plea for deliverance and peace for all mankind\, not just those departed; the Sanctus\, following it\, becomes a response to this redemption.The Sanctus offers three different glimpses of the “heavens and earth\, full of Thy glory”\, all of which develop the same musical motive: an ethereal opening section inspired by images of space from the Hubble Space Telescope\, a stirring middle section inspired by images of our own planet as viewed from the International Space Station\, and a closing section which brings the listener down to Earth\, where cities teem with the energy of humanity.\nThe Lux Aeterna which closes the work\, portrays light\, peace\, and rest – for both the deceased and the living in an uplifting and comforting way. Lux Aeterna (Eternal light)\, also includes text from the Gospel of Matthew\, “Come unto me\, all ye that labour” (Matthew 11:28–29) was set before by Handel in Messiah\, and features a tenor solo. \nIn most of Forrest’s movements in this work\, long melodies often begin mysteriously and softly\, and develop towards a brilliant ending. A single singer would not be able to hold their breath for the duration of the long phrases\, but by using staggered breathing\, a choir can create the impression of endless melodies. \nRequiem for the Living was commissioned by the Hickory Choral Society (Hickory\, NC) in the USA\, as part of their ongoing commitment to funding new major works for the choral repertoire. Several other performances quickly followed\, including one with full orchestra in Carnegie Hall in New York in January 2014. Since that time\, the work has been performed by many of the world’s leading choirs\, across the United States\, in Europe\, throughout Asia and now in Australia. \n\n\n\n\nFeaturing : \n\n\n\n\n\nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir \n\n\n\nMelbourne University Choral Society\, Box Hill Chorale  \n\n\n\nRoyal Melbourne Philharmonic Orchestra \n\n\n\nAndrew Wailes conductor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
