Polyphony

July 2007 - Polyphony performs at the BBC Proms

Polyphony will be performing as part of the BBC Proms concerts in 2007.  The Chamber Music Prom is on Monday 30 July 2007 at 1.00pm at Cadogan Hall in London, and will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.

The performance explores the creative interplay of words and music in a programme which focuses on settings of Shakespeare, Auden and Blake.  Their poetry continues to fascinate composers of widely differing backgrounds and styles, and to inspire music which in turn sheds new light on much-loved texts.

The programme includes:

Vaughan Williams
Willow Song (2 mins)
O Mistress Mine (2 mins)
Come Away, Death (2 mins)

Britten
Chorale after an Old French Carol (4 mins)
Shepherd’s Carol (4 mins)

Sir John Tavener
The Tyger (5 mins)
The Lamb (4 mins)
