I covered Nigel Fitzmourice’s Stepping Out show this Sunday evening and took the opportunity to play a lot of the classical music I’ve been enjoying recently. Especially as it is a Sunday and I spoke about what a special day of the week it is for me. The day when we can hopefully relax and be away from the daily grind and also how it is traditionally a sacred day, one of worship.
I played a lot of what I considered to be ‘heavyweights’ of the classical genre, especially of the polyphonic choral music I enjoy so much, some of which was taken from the Cathedral Voices album. Also were examples by the Tallis Scholars and Robert Hollingworth’s I Fagiolini.
