For their summer concert, the Durham Singers perform joyful psalm settings by British and German composers, based around the psalm texts 'O Sing unto the Lord'. Purcell's verse anthem setting is complemented by Julian Anderson's contemporary response to the text, in which the choir begin with the exuberant joy that comes from singing, before taking on the sounds of brass fanfares and the roaring sea.

The concert closes with Bach's magnificent double-choir motet, Singet dem Herrn, The quieter central movement uses the Lutheran chorale melody Nun lob mein Seel den Herren, so to prepare the path to Bach's masterpiece, we offer choral and organ settings of the same chorale by some of Bach's great predecessors, along with Pachelbel's own version of Singet dem Herrn.

The audience are invited to join the choir for seasonal refreshments after the concert.
