The Maidstone Singers’ Summer Concerts June 2016<\/h1>\n
The final concert of the 2015\/16 season took place at St Mary’s in West Malling on Saturday 25th June and the choir signed off in great style. The first of the choir’s two summer concerts dedicated to Jeffrey Vaughan Martin had taken place at All Saints Church on Sunday 19th June where the award of Honorary Vice President was presented to Jeffrey’s wife Jean in recognition of all the work that she has done for the choir over many years.<\/p>\n
Peter Ashley again opened the West Malling concert with Elgar’s ‘Nimrod’, one of Jeffrey’s favourites. This was followed by the core choir with six a cappella pieces which they had taken on their tour to Ronda and Cadiz in Spain earlier in the month.<\/p>\n
The highlight of the concert was Sir Karl Jenkins’ ‘Stabat Mater’ performed by the extended choir and orchestral ensemble. This had formed part of the Spanish tour and the contralto soloist, Stephanie Crooks, once again thrilled the audience with her vocal versatility in this challenging but tremendously rewarding work. The concert would not have been possible without Ciara Considine who stepped in to rehearse and conduct the work that Jeffrey had planned.<\/p>\n

The Maidstone Singers’ Tour of Spain June 2016<\/h1>\n
This was a tour that Jeffrey Vaughan Martin had planned for the choir but one which he did not live to see completed. The loss of their Music Director did not stop the choir from touring however; in fact, it charged their performances with an emotional intensity that provided their unsuspecting audiences with a remarkable musical experience. The tour became a tribute to Jeffrey who would have been very proud of the group that he had created and led for 20 years.<\/p>\n
In the beautiful city of Ronda the choir performed some of their most familiar sacred repertoire in the Convento de Santo Domingo, ably conducted from their ranks by Marion Weller. The programme contained fifteen pieces including Bruckner\u2019s \u2018Ave Maria\u2019, Stanford\u2019s \u2018Beati Quorum Via\u2019, Gjeilo\u2019s \u2018Ubi Caritas\u2019 and Lauridsen\u2019s \u2018O Magnum Mysterium\u2019 all of which were sung quite beautifully. The audience was particularly impressed when the choir split into two to sing \u2018Hail Gladdening Light\u2019 by Charles Wood. But the emotional high point for both choir and audience was perhaps Philip Stopford\u2019s \u2018Do not be afraid\u2019 which has become one of the choir\u2019s favourite pieces. Having survived this challenge admirably, they showed their spirit with Jeffrey\u2019s battle cry of an encore \u2018De battle ob Jericho\u2019 and the walls very nearly did come tumbling down with the standing ovation at the ending.<\/p>\n
On to Cadiz, where the Singers joined with the chamber choir, Nova Mvsica in a concert in the Iglesia del Carmen in San Fernando. The two groups took it in turns to sing a variety of sacred music and then joined to perform \u2018O quam gloriosam\u2019 by T.L. de Victoria. In the year of their 25th<\/sup> anniversary Nova Mvsica, conducted by Eduardo Gallardo de Gomar, chose seven pieces including Byrd\u2019s \u2018Ave Verum\u2019 and Thomas Tallis\u2019 \u2018If Ye Love Me\u2019. This experienced and talented group provided a perfect counterpart to their English partners.<\/p>\n
The final concert in Cadiz was the highlight of the tour. Once again the choirs combined, this time in performing Sir Karl Jenkins\u2019 \u2018Stabat Mater\u2019 with Stephanie Crooks as the contralto soloist and with accompaniment from the youthful Ensemble La Stavaganza. This challenging piece incorporates Middle Eastern vocals and instruments into the Western style of the traditional Stabat Mater setting in Jenkins\u2019 own unique way. It calls for a remarkable talent on the part of the soloist as well as the choir, and Stephanie, who is very familiar with the piece, excelled. The Andalusian audience whose culture is infused with their Arabic past had no difficulty in relating to this mixture of styles and immediately recognised the quality of both the music and of the performance itself. The 300 strong audience seated in the open air cloisters of the Iglesia Conventual de Sto. Domingo on a warm summer\u2019s evening showed their appreciation with a standing ovation and demanded an encore. The excellent music direction by Eduardo Gallardo de Gomar and the part played by his choir helped to prove what high standards can be achieved by such international cooperation between musical groups, as Jeffrey Vaughan Martin always believed. But the evening was also a triumph for a British composer and a choir from England.<\/p>\n\r\n\t

<\/a>This year’s Spring Concert was again held at St Mary’s Church in West Malling as a joint concert with the West Malling Community Choir. The Maidstone Singers chose to offer some more modern classics such as ‘Night and Day’, ‘Blue Moon’ and ‘Tea for Two’ as well as a selection of the religious music which they will take on tour to Cadiz and Ronda in Spain this June. Philip Stopford has become a regular feature in the choir’s repertoire and the packed audience enjoyed his ‘Ave Verum’ and ‘Do not be afraid’. Other works included Eric Whitacre’s ‘Lux Aurumque’, Anton Bruckner’s ‘Ave Maria’ and Charles Villiers Stanford’s ‘Beati Quorum Via’, demonstrating the choir’s wide range and quality. The WMCC presented a medley from Walt Disney pictures and a selection of twentieth century music mostly arranged by Jeffrey Vaughan Martin who once again conducted both choirs with great enthusiasm.<\/p>\nMichael Marriott<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
