Serenity from Britain and France. Vaughan Williams’ lush Serenade to Music sets the tone of the British half of the concert. Other highlights include Hubert Parry’s Blest Pair of Sirens, Holst's Festival Te Deum and Bainton’s And I saw a new heaven. Then, from France, we present one of the most beloved of all choral masterpieces, Fauré’s Requiem. Ethereal and tender, it portrays a serene and optimistic world, with some of the most expressive music ever written for chorus.
