Martin Handley introduces 20th music for chorus and organ by English composers, in a programme that highlights striking a cappella works from Walton and Howells, interspersed with organ voluntaries performed by Richard Pearce at St Paul's Knightsbridge.

Celebration and commemoration are the themes that run through this concert with pieces written for coronations and festivals, including Howell's intensely moving "Take him, earth, for cherishing" written upon the death of President J.F. Kennedy who was assasinated 50 years ago in 1963.
