Music by Britten, Poulenc and Hindemith

The Tudor Consort
Directed by Michael Stewart
Organ: Richard Apperley

2013 marks the anniversaries of three giants of 20th century music: the 100th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Britten, and the 50th anniversary of the deaths of Francis Poulenc and Paul Hindemith. This programme pays homage to these three composers, including Britten's AMDG, Poulenc's Litanies à la Vierge Noire, and Hindemith's attractive Six Chansons.
