Franz Schubert's

Rosamunde Quartet

12.45pm Thursday 25th April

Cowdray Hall

If Schubert could write for the movies, he would have. He took the best tunes from music he wrote for the play, Rosamunde, Princess of Cyprus written by the wonderfully named Helmina von Chézy for this string quartet. He surrounds it in turns with moody, edgy music, and the most joyful of Viennese dances in his own inimitable way.

Nova Quartet

Conducted by Dr Roger Williams MBE

In his Requiem, the French composer Gabriel Fauré distilled some of the most beautiful melodies he ever composed. Gone is the sombre nature of many requiems that had gone before, as Fauré’s is noted for its calm, serene and peaceful outlook - musical solace in a work that focuses on a restful and fear-free end of life.
