Septura - Lieska Brass Week 2016
Jul. 24 - 25, 2016
Septura is thrilled to be performing for Lieksa Brass Week 2016 and will perform two contrasting programmes in the festival. The first, How are the Mighty Fall’n, is a secular Remembrance programme inspired by the WW1 anniversary and the strong battlefield associations of brass instruments. Focusing on the mortal aspect of armed conflict the programme includes music by Brahms, Handel and Shostakovich and reflects themes of heroism, sacrifice, and grief. For the second, lighter programme, Septura explores the number seven and the Seven Deadly Sins: seven brass players, seven pieces and seven centuries of music, representing Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy, Gluttony. The programme will include works by Handel, Rachmaninov, Lassus, Blow, Gabrieli, Poulenc and Rameau.
