This fantastic programme features wonderful music written to celebrate the age-old pairing of voices and organ, including Kodály’s Laudes Organi, Langlais’ imposing Messe Solennelle and one of Mendelssohn’s best-known works, Hear My Prayer (which includes the famous ‘O For the Wings of a Dove’), alongside anthems by Gerald Finzi and the late John Tavener.
