Programme Note
Our final Sunday afternoon concert of 2018 is a programme of English choral works from the twentieth century and beyond. Jonathan Dove's song cycle, The Passing of the Year, provides an exciting opening before the delicacy of Britten's Hymn to St Cecilia. A new setting of the Missa Brevis by Russell Hepplewhite then leads into Finzi's masterpiece, Lo, the full, final sacrifice which concludes with one of the most exquisite Amens in the choral repertoire.
