WEDNESDAY 30NOVEMBEREnglish 20th Century ClassicsA Festival Anthem (op. 21 part 2) Performed by Peter Seymour (conductor) & Ben Horden (organ) Five pieces of outstanding English choral music by Berkeley, Britten, Bairstow, Finzi and Leighton, are all distinguished by their image-rich texts. The settings of metaphysical poetry by Finzi, Britten and Leighton, all wonderfully imaginative pieces, were commissioned for St Matthew’s Church, Northampton, Chichester Cathedral and New College, Oxford. Berkeley’s undeservedly neglected 'A Festival Anthem' and the incandescent fervour of Bairstow’s 'Blessed City', 'heav’nly Salem' complete the programme.
