Music by Britten, Holst, Purcell, John Taverner James MacMillan, Michael Neaum, Gilbert and Sullivan and others

The English Monarchy has been steeped in musical tradition for more than a thousand years, and musical training and performance was an integral part of every Queen’s education and culture. Voices, organ, bells, harp and piano complement the Girls Chorus on a musical trip through time and sound from the heavenly tones of James MacMillan’s “Te Deum” and Britten’s “Missa Brevis” to the lighter side of royalty with Gilbert and Sullivan and setting of folksongs by Michael Neaum. A crowning highlight of the evening will be John Taverner’s stunningly beautiful “Glory to God for This Transient Life”, a piece built in the Eastern Orthodox tradition and composed in 2000.
