\"\"<\/p>\n

Vocal ensemble Bel a capella presents its first concert for 2013, entitled Tenebrae, <\/em>which in the Western Christian tradition is the performance of music and chants\u00a0associated with darkness, or the extinguishing of lights.<\/p>\n

Musical Director\u00a0Anthony Pasquill hands the baton to chorister and conductor Margot McLaughlin for a performance of\u00a0Lamentations of Jeremiah <\/em>by Thomas Tallis and\u00a0resumes it for Frank Martin’s: Mass for Double Choir, <\/em>Benjamin\u00a0Britten’s Hymn to St. Cecilia,<\/em> Gabriel Jackson’s Edinburgh Mass<\/em> and Herbert Howells’ A Hymn for St. Cecilia.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of these composers, Gabriel Jackson is perhaps the least well known to Australian audiences. Born in 1962 in Bermuda he spent three years as a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral after which he studied composition at the Royal College of Music.<\/p>\n

He has been commissioned and performed by, amongst others, the BBC,\u00a0the Tate Gallery, the National Centre for Early Music and ensembles I Fagiolini, the Brindisi String Quartet,\u00a0the Delta Saxophone Quartet, the Orlando Consort,\u00a0and\u00a0the Lyric String Quartet; choirs who have performed his work include the BBC Singers, the Netherlands Chamber Choir, the Renaissance Singers, the Corund Ensemble of Zurich,\u00a0Chapelle du Roi, Oxford Pro Musica Singers, Wells Cathedral Chamber Choir,\u00a0and the cathedral choirs of Canterbury, Christ Church Oxford, St. Paul’s, Truro, Wells, Guildford and Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

His music has been performed and broadcast throughout Europe, the\u00a0USA, the Middles East and Asian and at\u00a0many festivals including Aldeburgh,\u00a0Glasgow, Oxford Contemporary Music, ThreeTwo in New York, Graz Orfeo Festival, Regensburg Tage Alter und Neuer Musik, and the \u00a0Sidney Spring Festival.<\/p>\n

The Edinburgh Mass was commissioned\u00a0for St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh, and was first performed by Matthew Owens and the Cathedral Choir on St Cecilia’s Day 2001.\u00a0Approximately 13 minutes long,\u00a0it is an a cappella<\/em> setting, in Latin, without Credo.<\/p>\n
