We turn our focus to the sea - its beauty, its danger, and its deep emotional pull. This thoughtfully shaped programme pairs two major English works: Edward Elgars Sea Pictures in a choral arrangement by Harvey Brough, and Charles Villiers Stanfords Songs of the Fleet, arranged by our musical director Andrew Hayman. Both draw on maritime imagery, but they speak in strikingly different musical voices.
