Phil Price, Henrike Lähnemann: Nun Freut Euch - the 3rd Come and Sing evening of classic German hymns

German hymnody is one of the richest traditions in sacred music, and a jewel in European literary and musical culture. We meet again to sing a selection of classics from the last 500 years, in German, in this almost perfect setting. Full music and texts will be provided. As in previous years, we will enjoy a short recital on the chapel’s historic organ. Our speaker this year will be Henrike Lähnemann, Professor of Mediaeval German at the University of Oxford, and Fellow of St Edmund Hall.

Come and take this rare opportunity to sing these wonderful hymns in German, in London, and to enrich your knowledge of this beautiful tradition.

A choir assembled for the occasion will perform a short choral piece. If you would like to sing with the choir please let us know in advance, and be ready to arrive early for rehearsal.
