More than a hundred singers they will perform this Friday the cantata The great day of Girona of Francesc Civil and the Miss Nelson de Joseph Haydn. The Girona Auditorium will host the participatory concert, promoted by the Polyphonic Chapel of Gironawhich seeks to establish a tradition and convert The great day of Girona at a biannual meeting around the dates of the days of historical recreation of the Napoleonic Sieges. In addition, explains the formation, “interpreting a composer is the best way to know and love him”, so they trust that the project will end up making the choirs of the Girona regions see Civil as a composer to program in their concerts.
afterperform the cantata of Civil with lyrics by Salvador Sunyer and Aimeric in 2021in a concert full of limitations due to covid, they return on Friday. The Polyphonic Chapel will form the stage choir together with the Filharmonia Choir and the Geriona Choirand will have the Girona Orchestra and the soprano Mireia Tarragó, the mezzo-soprano Maite Mer, the tenor Roger Padullés and the baritone Oriol Mallart as soloists.
All together, under the direction of Martí Ferrer and accompanied by volunteer singers, who have been rehearsing for months.
The great day of Girona will share the program with the Misa in the Narrows by Haydn, better known as Miss Nelson. The choice is not free: it was written while Vienna was besieged by Napoleonic troops -hence the name and the orchestration, with soloists, choir, strings, trumpets and timpani-, in the same way that the work of Civil and the lyrics of Sunyer and Aimeric also portray episodes of the siege that was subdued the city of Girona by the same army.
In addition, Haydn died in the same year as the events described in The great day of Girona1809.
Friday’s concert will be one of the highlights of the Convention of Choral Singing in Catalonia, which will be held on September 29 and 30 in Girona. Organized by the Catalan Choir Movement, which brings together all the Catalan choral federations, the meeting will be held for the first time outside of Barcelona.
