Nosferatu with live music by Chris Green
Live Music

Nosferatu with live music by Chris Green

The Film Nosferatu (1922) is arguably the film that gave birth to the horror genre. Notable as the first cinematic interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, its combination of expressionistic acting and unforgettable images render it just as powerful and unsettling today as when it first thrilled cinema goers 100 years ago. Chris Green’s new score was commissioned by English Heritage for a live outdoor screening of the film at Dracula’s spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. The music is a haunting blend of electronic and acoustic instruments performed live by the composer and, combined with FW Murnau’s iconic images, makes for a genuinely remarkable and unique cinematic experience. The Composer Born into a musical family in Coventry, Chris Green began playing guitar at the age of eight and piano from the age of nine, and plays most things with fretted strings or keys. Largely selftaught, he’s worked in a variety of musical genres including folk, theatre and early music. He’s a regular musician at Shakespeare’s Globe and was also one of the musicians on BBC’s Poldark, appearing in series 1 and 2.

NELSON MASS: Joseph Haydn REQUIEM: Michael Haydn Basingstoke Choral Society Conductor Jordan Theis Composed in 1798 at a time of personal triumph, Joseph Haydn’s Missa in Angustiis, better known as the Nelson Mass, stands as one of the most thrilling and powerful achievements of the choral repertoire. Written during a period of uncertainty as Napoleon Bonaparte’s armies swept across Europe, the work’s Latin title translates as “Mass for Troubled Times,” reflecting both the anxieties of the age and the enduring hope of faith. Soon after its première, news arrived of Horatio Nelson’s decisive victory over Napoleon at the Battle of the Nile. The association was irresistible, and the mass became forever linked with the admiral’s name. From its dramatic opening to the glorious finale, the Nelson Mass is music of extraordinary intensity and grandeur. Michael Haydn was not only the younger brother of Joseph Haydn, but was also a composer deeply admired by Mozart. Written in 1771 Michael’s Requiem in C minor, stands entirely on its own as a work of compelling beauty and spiritual intensity. Rarely performed, this musical treasure combines profound sorrow with luminous hope. Join us for an unforgettable evening as voices and instruments combine to bring you music offering both dramatic power as well as radiant optimism, which is as important today as it was more than 250 years ago.
