Whitehall Choir
Programme Note
Whitehall Choir is delighted to present ten inspirational pieces, all of which speak about an aspect of modern life. The idea for the collection came from composer Russell Hepplewhite, who invited ten outstanding British poets to create poetic responses to our world today. Their diverse reflections cover birth and death, youth and age, sickness and health, and landscape and memory. While some are light-hearted and comic, others are profound and moving. Two more new songs by Russell Hepplewhite with poems by Simon Armitage will be performed by Marcus Farnsworth and Ian Tindale. The songs are based on poems by: Pam Ayres, Mona Arshi, Roger McGough, Joseph Coelho, Fiona Benson, Jamila Gavin, Wendy Cope, Andrew Motion, Michael Rosen and Alice Oswald.
