Programme Note
London chamber choir Londinium closes its tenth-anniversary season with a delicious selection of music celebrating the great outdoors. Beautiful partsongs by Elgar, Delius, Vaughan Williams, Ireland and Sterndale Bennett rub shoulders with superb recent works by Nicholas Maw and Cecilia McDowall. Completing this delightful programme are Mendelssohn's vivacious op.59 'Songs to be sung in the open air' and Britten's classic Five Flower Songs.
