Three contrasting but much-loved English seasonal favourites lie at the heart of this Christmas programme from the BBC Singers and BBC Concert Orchestra. Gerald Finzi's solo cantata "Dies natalis" sets Thomas Traherne's ecstatic words to music of rapturous beauty, while Ralph Vaughan Williams' Fantasia is a high-spirited sequence of traditional carols which takes the listener on a musical journey from Advent to New Year, and Herbert Howells' beautifully-wrought carol-anthems for a cappella choir have become modern choral classics.
Completing the programme, Finzi's evocation of a frosty Christmas Eve, Arnold Bax's hymn to the Virgin Mary, and other choral and orchestral works for the Festive Season by British composers.
