Music for Sunday
[-OR Sunday Music with Early Instru-. 5 ments, a group of programmes being heard from 2YA currently at 9.15 p.m., Zillah and Ronald Castle have selected some lesser-known church music which they consider has a sincerity and religious feeling that merit wider recognition. Composers to be heard include Martin» Mayer, Purcell, Telemann and Frescobaldi. In the fourth programme, on Sunday, October 27, will be played
the Sacred Symphony by Heinrich Schiitz, on the text Venite ad Me, from the Gospel according to St Matthew. Heinrich Schiitz (above), a German composer who lived from 1585 to 1672, was one of the most important figures of his era, a forerunner of Bach and Handel, and strongly influenced the development of church music. He introduced to German’ music the expressively dramatic style and the use of double choirs and contrasting groups of voices which he had found in Italy, and added solo singing and the interplay of fewer vocal and instrumental parts to the solid polyphonic foundations of German religious music. His work has reached wider audiences in recent years, including listeners at the Edinburgh Festival. The instruments used in the series include the viola d’amore, viola da gamba, recorders of all sizes, and the organ. To be heard in the programmes will be Donald Munro, Robin Gordon, Alice Graham, Sybil Phillipps, Maureen Castle and Claire Newman.
