Programme
Howard Goodall –  Unconditional Love
Sacred & Secular part songs

Howard Goodall, a composer who has become a household name through his TV scores for The Vicar of Dibley, Blackadder and Mr Bean, is at heart a choral composer. Unconditional Love was written at the height of the Covid pandemic and is at its core a work of gratitude, remembrance and of hope for a world rebuilt. Alongside this fine contemporary work are motets and partsongs spanning the 16th to 20th centuries – the whole programme encapsulated by the title of Gerald Finzi’s little masterpiece My spirit sang all day.
