I'm loving learning this music for The Bach Choir's concert in November. Literally feel like I'm on a ship! If you don't know much about #VaughanWilliams then listen to this clip of Roderick Williams and David Hill talking about his music and this evocative, powerful piece.

The feeling of ‘seeing the sea’ on a seaside trip is hard to beat, isn't it? Roderick Williams describes how Vaughan Williams encapsulates the emotion in the opening of A Sea Symphony. Watch our exclusive interview between David Hill & Roddy now - thebachchoir.org.uk/roderick-willi… #RVW150

The Bach Choir Vaughan Williams David Hill Philharmonia Orchestra Elizabeth Watts Southbank Centre The Garden of Proserpine is well worth hearing with many beautiful moments (unlike many composers’ early works!!!)

I’m pondering why as it an exceptionally good piece.

It's a fabulous piece, really looking forward to singing it. Do come along.

The People's Baritone™ Roddy Williams is so eloquent on Vaughan-Williams in this chat with David Hill: youtu.be/Tb1rNiGPtjQ

Have you seen this episode of BBC Countryfile showcasing Vaughan Williams? Great to see our former Musical Director being celebrated on TV - Pekka Kuusisto summed it up perfectly when he said that Lark Ascending 'would put a new-born child into a nostalgic mood' bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

What an incredible day it was. Stunning in all respects and particularly to the musicians Westminster Abbey Choir of Westminster Abbey & in #Windsor , their directors and organists for flawless singing, conducting and playing. It showed just why music is SO important. It was deeply moving. Thank you.

Excited to be returning to The Bach Choir tonight after a year off. Will be fun to sing the #SeaSymphony again w David Hill et al.
