Humphrey Clucas (b. 1941)
Humphrey Clucas read English at King's College,
Cambridge, where he was a choral scholar. Having
taught English in schools for 27 vyears, while
maintaining a separate singing career, he finally gave
up teaching on his appointment as a Lay Vicar
(member of the choir) of Westminster Abbey, from
which he retired in 1999.
As a composer, he is self-taught, and though he is
well-known in Church of England circles for a set of
Responses, written as an undergraduate, nearly all his

serious work has been done in the last 25 years. He
has produced a great deal of choral music, much of it liturgical; but there are also
concert works for unaccompanied choir (including a Requiem) and for choir and
orchestra, a Houseman song-cycle for counter-tenor, a clarinet Sonatina, several
works for double bass, and a large body of organ music. Evening Hymns was
written for Jeremy Backhouse and the BBC Club Choir.
Two complete CDs of his choral music were issued, in 1994 and 1998; they have
been played on both BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM. A CD of organ music appeared
on the Lammas label in 2002, and a recent CD from the same company features
his Organ Symphony, which was premiered in Westminster Cathedral in 2004.

Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809)
Haydn was born in Rohrau, a tiny Austrian village, and showed an early musical
talent. Aged eight, he went to Vienna to serve as a choirboy in the Cathedral of St.
Stephen, and subsequently became a freelance musician. He gave music lessons
to children, struggled to teach himself composition, and took odd jobs (including
playing violin in street bands). But gradually aristocratic patrons of music began to
notice his talent; and in 1761 he entered the service of the Esterhazys, the richest
and most powerful of the Hungarian noble families. For nearly 30 years most of
his music was composed for performances in the palaces of the family, especially
Esterhaza, which contained an opera house, a theatre and two concert halls.
Word spread about the Esterhazys' composer, and Haydn's music became
immensely popular all over Europe. In 1791-1792 and again in 1794-1795, Haydn
visited London. His visits were a huge success; audiences flocked to his concerts,
and he quickly achieved wealth and fame, being received by the royal family and
given an honorary doctorate at Oxford.

In 1795, he returned to Vienna, where he turned to the composition of large
religious works for chorus and orchestra. These include his two great oratorios
The Creation and The Seasons. His health began to deteriorate and he remained

Vivace Chorus

in Vienna until he died in 1809, aged 77, during an attack on Vienna by the French

army under Napoleon.

Haydn was a pathfinder for the classical style, a pioneer in the development of the
symphony and the string quartet, which some scholars believe that he invented.

Haydn's output also includes piano sonatas, piano trios, divertimentos, concertos,

operas, and masses. The variety

in his works is astounding. He was a great

innovator and experimenter who Iated arbitrary 'rules' of composition. "Art is free,"

he said. "The educated ear is the sole authority... and | think | have as much right
to lay down the law as anyone."
-

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 — 1791)
Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, to composer and violinist Leopold and his
wife, Anna Maria Pertl. He mastered the keyboard when he was four, composed

his first keyboard pieces aged five, and also played the violin. Leopold began a
series of tours across Europe to show off his six-year-old son's extraordinary
talents, and those of his pianist daughter, Maria-Anna (Nannerl). The young
Mozart played before French and English Royal families, the Bavarian elector and

the Austrian empress.

The family subsequently moved to Vienna and then back to Salzburg, where
Mozart became honorary Konzertmeister to the Archbishop. The years 1770-73
saw three visits to Italy, where Mozart acquainted himself with Italian styles,
especially opera. His output, in so many genres, was prodigious — by 1772 he had

written about 25 symphonies.

In 1781 he was summoned to Vienna for the coronation of Emperor Joseph Il and
it became his home for the rest of his life. He married Constanze Weber in 1782

and became a Freemason in 1784. By musicians' standards, he had a good
income, having a carriage and servants, but lavish spending and poor
management forced him into debt. Letters to fellow Masons in his last 3 years

reflect his anxieties about finance or health. He hoped the accession of Emperor
Leopold Il would lead to a position or commissions, but nothing was forthcoming.
In 1791 he was commissioned by an unknown stranger to compose a Requiem
Mass. He became obsessed with the idea that it was for his own death, and after a

fever lasting 3 weeks he died, leaving the Requiem, his first large-scale work for
the church since the C Minor Mass of 1783, unfinished. The Requiem was
completed by his pupil Franz Stissmayr.

:
There has always been speculation as to the cause of his death, but after this
short life of genius, marked by a service at St Stephen's in Vienna, he was then

buried in a Vienna suburb, with little ceremony and in an unmarked grave, in
accordance with prevailing custom.

Evening Hymns

Humphrey Clucas

Evening Hymns begins with a single verse from Robert Bridges' hymn

The

duteous day now closeth, a call to prayer at the end of the day. It is set as a
double canon at the ninth, in deliberate imitation of a similar technique in Brahms'

Geistliches Lied. This brief introduction leads into the Evening Hymn of Charles |,
a lovely statement of quiet assurance that — given an untroubled conscience —
God will guard us while we sleep.
Samuel Daniel's sonnet Care-charmer sleep, which follows, is not a hymn at all. It
is deeply unhappy (“the shipwreck of my ill-adventured youth”) — a call for sleep
without dreams, since dreams mirror the torments of the day; it closes with a
request never to wake at all.
Out of this ultimate darkness comes Newman's Lead, kindly light, taking us
through to dawn and a renewal of grace:
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which | have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Considered as a hymn, it is slightly awkward, since no tune will quite match all
| have tried to put this

three verses. While retaining the hymn-like feeling,
irregularity to constructive use.

H.C.

The duteous day now closeth,
Each flower and tree reposeth,

Shade creeps o'er wild and wood.
Let us, as night is falling,
On God our maker calling,
Give thanks to him, the giver good.
Tr. Robert Bridges (1844-1930)

Close thine eyes, and sleep secure,
Thy soul is safe, thy body sure.
He that guards thee, he that keeps,
Never slumbers, never sleeps.

A quiet conscience in the breast
Hast only peace, hast only rest.

The music and the mirth of kings
Are out of tune unless she sings.
Then close thine eyes (etc...)
Evening Hymn of Charles |

Vivace Chorus

Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable night,
Brother to death, in silent darkness born,
Relieve my languish, and restore the light;
With dark forgetting of my care return.
And let the day be time enough to mourn
The shipwreck of my ill-adventured youth;

Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn,
Without the torment of the night's untruth.

Cease, dreams, the images of day desires,
To model forth the passions of the morrow;
Never let rising sun approve you liars,
To add more grief to aggravate my sorrow:
Still let me sleep, embracing clouds in vain,
And never wake to feel the day's disdain.

Samuel Daniel (1562-1619)

Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom,
Lead thou me on;
The night is dark, and | am far from home,
Lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; | do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
| was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou

Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead thou me on.
| loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.

So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on

O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone.
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which | have loved long since, and lost awhile.

6. Agnus Dei (Quartet and Chorus)
The Mass in D was written in the summer of 1798, about 5 years before ill-health

forced an end to Haydn’s composing. He had just completed his oratorio The
Creation, inspired by Handel works he heard on his London visits. The name
chosen by Haydn for this mass was Missa in Angustiis, perhaps meaning ‘Mass in
Fear or ‘Mass for Stress’; this may have reflected personal stresses or Esterhazy
family events, or it may have arisen from Austria-Hungary's stressful political
situation. Two years previously, Haydn had written a Mass in

Time of War,

recognising the concern gripping Europe as it cowered under the shadow of the
ambitious young Napoleon. The Mass in D may similarly have reflected political
concerns, although it may be significant that this title does not read ‘Mass in Time

of Fear’, to parallel the title of the earlier work.
The title Nelson Mass was applied to this music by others after 1800, probably
because the work was among those performed for Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton
when they visited Prince Esterhazy at Eisenstadt Castle in September 1800.

Ironically, the Battle of Aboukir, in which Nelson's fleet took the French by surprise
and decimated them, occurred while Haydn was at work on the Mass; Haydn,
however, could not have known of Nelson's victory until weeks after the Mass was

finished, and apparently never sanctioned naming the mass for the English hero.
Considering Haydn's own title for the Mass, it is surprising that it does not
demonstrate obvious sorrow, stress or fear. Much of the work appears to evoke
joy and feelings of hope, which seem unrelated to its sombre title. However, all six
of Haydn's last masses, which includes this one, were written for the name day of
Princess

Esterhazy,

and the celebratory nature of such

an event probably

accounts for the positive nature of this work.

Mozart and Haydn
Around 1781, and despite the generation gap between them, Haydn began what

was to become a close friendship with Mozart, whose work he had already been
influencing for many years. The two composers enjoyed playing in string quartets
together. Haydn was hugely impressed with Mozart's work; it has been noted by

Mozart scholars that after this time Haydn largely ceased to compose operas and
concertos — two of the genres where Mozart was at his strongest. Mozart
obviously had great affection for Haydn, in whom he found not only a composer
whose achievements where on a level with his own, but a warm and sympathetic

friend in whom he could confide. This contrasted strongly with the strained
relationship that Mozart shared with his father, Leopold. Haydn would give advice
and criticism to Mozart, who attached more importance to Haydn's opinion than to

that of any other, including his father.
In 1791 Haydn told Mozart he wanted to visit London. Mozart said: "l fear, Papa,
that this will be our last farewell". Perhaps Mozart had a premonition of his
impending death, which occurred on 5 December 1791. Haydn heard the news
while in London, but at first refused to believe it. It affected Haydn greatly and,
years later, if Mozart's death was mentioned, tears came to his eyes. Haydn
declared to Dr. Charles Burney in the London music shop of Broderip: "Friends tell
me often | am brilliant, but he (Mozart) stood far above me."

significantly extended his Mahler repertoire with a performance of Symphony
No. 8, the monumental 'Symphony of a Thousand'.
Jeremy is also the conductor of the Vasari Singers, widely acknowledged as one

Vivace Chorus (formerly the Guildford Philharmonic Choir)
The Guildford Philharmonic Choir was founded by the Borough of Guildford in
1947 to perform major choral works with the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra.
During this time, the Choir grew both in stature and reputation to become one of
the foremost choruses in the country. The Choir grew to prominence under the
batons of such eminent British musicians as Sir Charles Groves, Vernon Handley
and Sir David Willcocks, the current President. For some time, the Choir had been
independent from the Borough of Guildford, and to reflect its independent status
and ever-increasing and varied undertakings, decided to ‘rebrand' itself — the
change of name, to Vivace Chorus, was announced in May 2005, during our last
concert of the 2004/05 season.
Vivace Chorus enjoys a challenging and varied concert repertoire, performing
works spanning the last five centuries — some well-known, but also many rarities
deserving to be heard by a wider audience. By way of demonstration: the 2002/03
season included Dvorak’s rarely heard Requiem, followed by Verdi's Requiem, but
the climax of the season was undoubtedly Mahler's Symphony No. 8, where the
choir combined forces with Lewisham Choral Society, the South West Essex Choir

and the Grey Coat Hospital Girls Choir. The season also included a concert of
American music, featuring works by Barber, Bernstein, Copland, and Stravinsky.
The season concluded with Borodin’s Polovisian Dances and Prokofiev's
Alexander Nevsky (both sung in Russian), and Rachmaninov’'s Piano Concerto
No. 3, performed by the choir's outstanding accompanist, Jeremy Filsell.
The 2004/05 season began with a glowing performance of Elgar's The Dream of
Gerontius, followed by the unusual and much-appreciated /talian Inspirations —
non-operatic works by famous composers of Italian opera. This was followed by
the first in our Contemporary Choral Classics Cycle, a projected 4-year innovative
series of choral works from the late 20th and 21st century — classics of the future
paired with established masterpieces. The chosen pairing was Vaughan Williams’
Dona nobis pacem (1936) and Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man (2000). During the
summer break, we were invited to sing (under our new name for the first time) a
'Last Night of the Proms' charity concert for Chase at a packed Fairfield Halls,
Croydon. This was a big success as well as great fun, and we were delighted to be
invited back for this year's concert!
The 2005/6 season began with another piece rarely heard in its entirely in the UK
— Mendelssohn’s epic choral Symphony No. 2 (Lobgesang), together with smaller
choral items by Parry, Elgar, Mendelssohn and Holst. As a complete contrast, our
next concert was devoted entirely to works of Bach and Handel.
Vivace Chorus is always searching for new members to maintain its high standard.
For further details about joining, please contact Noreen Ayton, Tel. 01932 221918.
Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings throughout term time in central
Guildford and prospective members are most welcome to attend rehearsals on an
informal basis before committing to an audition. For more information, see our
