This concert features an exciting range of classic British music. Parry’s glorious anthem ‘I was Glad’ will be familiar from the Coronation and other royal events, as will the music of Elgar’s ‘Song of Liberty’, an arrangement of Pomp & Circumstance March No. 4. Vaughan Williams’ less well-known ‘Toward the Unknown Region’, his first major choral piece, brilliantly expresses poet Walt Whitman’s inspirational and humanistic text with music that starts quietly and simply but builds through waves of excitement to an exultant climax. We celebrate the 150th anniversary of Holst’s birth with his beautiful 'Short Festival Te Deum', and the centenary of Stanford’s death with his dramatic and atmospheric ‘Songs of the Sea’ and ‘The Bluebird’. Three of Vaughan Williams’ ‘Songs of Travel’ for baritone solo, Elgar’s ‘The Shower’, and Sullivan’s lovely and tranquil ‘The Long Day Closes’ complete a rich and varied programme. Tickets £14 in advance or £16 on the door. £12 for "Friends of BCS" Available from Second Spin, Sackville Road (cash), via choir members, by phone 0333 666 3366 or via the link below.
