Programme Note
Londinium (directed by Andrew Griffiths) is one of London’s most versatile chamber choirs particularly noted for vibrant performances of a cappella repertoire. It is an a cappella programme, ‘A Mass of Masses’, that they bring to Eaton Square Concerts: Vaughan Williams’ revival of English Polyphony (Mass in G minor), an American’s (Albright) take on the Anglican text for the 900th anniversary of Chichester Cathedral, Richard Rodney Bennett’s only piece of liturgical music (Missa Brevis) and Rheinberger’s Mass for Double Choir for which he was honoured with a medal in 1879 by Pope Leo XIII.
