Xavier College Chapel, Barkers Road, Kew
Subscription Concert 2
While unaccompanied choral music is not at the forefront of our nation’s musical creativity, a little probing
uncovers some significant contributions to the genre, both sacred and secular. All six works presented here are
in many respects traditional — in their use of tonality and modality, in their treatment of the voice, in their setting
of Latin and English texts. Yet each identifies a unique musical personality
