Programme Note

Wimbledon Choral Society returns to the Brandenburg Choral Festival of London for this celebration of some of the most stirring choral anthems and motets in the repertoire. The programme includes a wide range of composers dating back to the 16th century with Thomas Tallis's If ye love me and up to the turn of this century with Will Todd's Christus est Stella, via perennial favourites such as Handel's Zadok the Priest and Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus. Works by Bairstow, Finzi, Howells, Ireland, Parry and Wood will demonstrate the fine contributions made by composers of the English Choral Tradition to the genre.
