“Making mountains out of molehills” – performing British choral music

Paul Spicer discusses the music he has spent a lifetime espousing - the choral music by the composers who reinvented the musical wheel in this country in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; a genre which, in the right hands, could stand up and be counted, holding its own in any company, given a persuasive performance.  He looks at the hostility of the 'moderns' of the mid to late twentieth century to what they perceived as the 'reactionary' English music of the early twentieth century, and examines this music in detail, in an article from the RCO Journal of 2007.
