Bach’s cantata Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen is joyful, bursting with radiant salvos from the trumpet from the very first bar.
Mozart’s Exsultate, jubilate is every bit as bright, exalted and jubilant as its title suggests – both are ideally suited to acclaimed Australian soprano Sara Macliver and her ‘pure, pitch perfect, silvery’ voice (ABC).
Handel’s celebratory Music for the Royal Fireworks is a perfect partner for these uplifting pieces, full of orchestral pyrotechnics that will make your heart soar. And Haydn’s Symphony No.44 is the perfect counterweight – full of his characteristic sturm und drang (‘storm and stress’) in the opening movement, before light breaks through the clouds in the gorgeous third movement.
