Aled Jones celebrates the anniversaries of two 20th Century composers.

Since his death in 1957, Sibelius' international reputation has rested largely on his symphonies and orchestral music. However, his musical legacy also includes a substantial body of choral music and we hear a selection of some of these lesser known, but equally appealing, pieces.

Plus to mark the centenary of French composer and organist Jean Langlais' birth, there's a chance to hear his colourful Missa Salve Regina, written for the unusual forces of male voice chorus, unison voices, two organs and an octet of brass instruments.
