The BBC Singers are joined by the Britten Sinfonia and former
BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Natalie Clein in a programme that opens with the music of an individualistic
master who first worked with the BBC Singers in 1944.
Sir John Tavener’s Popule meus meditates upon the rejection of God by modern man, with the solo cello steadfast
against the temptations of the secular world as hurled out by the timpani. In her 80th-birthday year, Sofia Gubaidulina
is represented by the atmospheric The Canticle of the Sun, a setting of St Francis of Assisi in which the silences can
seem as important as the notes.
