The programme also includes ‘In beauty may I walk’, an evocative choral piece celebrating life and beauty by Jonathan Dove, as well as the bitter sweet harmonies of William Walton’s ‘Set me as a seal upon thy heart’, plus Gerald Finzi’s ‘My spirit sang all day’ – an ecstatic declaration of the joy wrought by love.
Rory Wainwright Johnston, the Musical Director of Cantores Olicanae, will conduct the choir and a string ensemble.
