Music Rich and Strange
Celebrate the 150th birthday of noted English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams with us in this concert of music written by Vaughan Williams and his contemporaries Gustav Holst, Gerald Finzi, and Herbert Howells. The program spans a wide range of styles and moods, from sacred music for chorus and organ (including the Vaughan Williams anthem "O Clap Your Hands") to a cappella folk songs, Shakespeare settings, and others. Included in the concert is Finzi's "White Flowering Days," composed for the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
