3. Sir Michael Tippett: Dance, Clarion Air
4. Ralph Vaughan Williams: Silence and Music

6. John Ireland: (The) Hills
7. Herbert Howells: Inheritance
8. Gerald Finzi: White-flowering days
9. Alan Rawsthorne: Canzonet
10. Edmund Rubbra: Salutation

There is some extraordinary writing here, often beautiful, always compelling in the strength of its ideas; but Britten certainly does not spare his singers, and the challenges are met here wonderfully well.’ - Gramophone of Britten

the Cambridge choir are a highly assured, well-practised body of singers, and make light work of the difficult pieces’ - Gramophone of A Garland for the Queen
