With the program 'Like a prayer', the Groot Omroepkoor is part of the International Top Choirs series of Muziekgebouw Frits Philips in Eindhoven. Francis Poulenc was, in his own words, 'Half monk, half bad boy'. Now we hear that more religious side of him in the Ave verum corpus . Mendelssohn was also a religious man and often knew how to express himself most sincerely in his motets. Also on the program is the Mass for double choirby the Swiss/Dutch Frank Martin. Double chorus is a special experience, a practice that originated in the Renaissance in the Venetian San Marco church. This Mass had a somewhat shadowy existence for a long time. Already composed in 1926, the composer held back the work for a long time. Since the play has been released to the public, it has enjoyed enormous popularity and has been released on CD dozens of times. Martin himself called the work a private affair, between himself and the Creator. A private matter that can be made public very nicely.
