THE DREAM OF GERONTIUS

CYNNA

Friday • Gwener 07.11.14, 7.30pm Elgar The Dream of Gerontius Conductor • Arweinydd Mark Wigglesworth BBC National Chorus of Wales • Corws Cenedlaethol Cymreig y BBC

Elgar was always fascinated by the poem by John Henry Newman, depicting the journey of Gerontius from his deathbed to his judgement before God. In this masterpiece, the Chorus play multiple roles in the story – as angels, friends, souls in purgatory, and even demons.

6.30pm Pre-concert talk Sgwrs cyn y cyngerdd

0800 052 1812 bbc.co.uk/now

Roedd cerdd John Henry Newman, yn darlunio taith Gerontius o’i wely angau i’w farnu gerbron Duw, bob amser yn cyfareddu Elgar.

Yn y campwaith yma mae’r Corws yn chwarae amryfal rannau yn y stori – yn angylion, yn gyfeillion, yn eneidiau yn y purdan, a hyd yn oed yn gythreuliaid.

Conductor • Arweinydd Pablo Gonzalez Guitar • Gitâr Sean Shibe (NGA • AGN) There’s a distinctly Spanish theme to the second half of this concert, as we play music by some of Spain’s most talented composers.

Malcolm Arnold’s Guitar Concerto, however, takes the instrument beyond its Latin roots, and adds a new twist to the usual sound world of the guitar.

Mae blas digamsyniol Sbaenaidd ar ail hanner y cyngerdd yma, a ninnau’n chwarae cerddoriaeth gan rai o gyfansoddwyr mwyaf dawnus Sbaen. Ond mae Concerto Gitâr Malcolm Arnold yn mynd â’r offeryn y tu hwnt i’w wreiddiau Lladin ac yn rhoi tro yng nghynffon seinfyd arferol y gitâr.
