Nothing expresses the spirit of Britishness better than trumpets and drums. From the majestic sweeps of Purcell's Fairy Queen to the stately grandeur of Boyce's Symphony in D, this programme explores one of London's finest and most vivid periods of music-making.
Handel, as a naturalised Briton, appears prominently with the dramatic aria ‘Scoglio d'immita fronte’ from Scipiono and the exquisite duet from Sosarme, ‘Per le porte del tormento’.
We celebrate the tercentenary of John Stanley's birth with a concerto, and of course no celebration of our national pride would be complete without a rousing rendition of Thomas Arne's Rule Britannia.
