Londinium
Programme Note
Londinium celebrates Advent and Christmas with its customary feast of festive repertoire old and new. Beloved carols by Howells, Pearsall, and Warlock rub shoulders with fine contemporary works by Sally Beamish, John Casken, Richard Causton, Alec Roth, Roderick Williams, and Alison Willis, whilst John Joubert's virtuosic Rorate Coeli motets are offset by the mellifluous sounds of Gabrieli, Handl, and Byrd's heartbreakingly beautiful Ne irascaris, Domine.
Wine and mince pies will be served!
