Hope you didn't miss
our a cappella sound on Gustav Holst's "Ave Maria!"
Benjamin Britten, William Byrd, Imogen Holst,
John Tavener, and John Rutter; and a Scottish folk song, "Tarry
Wool." The centerpiece was a choral suite, The
Dancers, by Welsh composer Grace Williams. This rediscovered
work from 1954 has wonderful texts by, among others, Hilaire
Belloc and May Sarton, and is scored for strings and harp, as
well as soprano soloist and women's chorus.
