The Choir of St George’s Chapel Windsor was founded in 1348 and has sung the services in the Chapel continuously since then, apart from during the Commonwealth period 1649-60. It comprises up to 23 choristers and 12 Lay Clerks, and the repertoire draws from music of all periods and traditions. Tours and appearances in Europe and overseas form a regular part of the Choir’s activity. Tonight’s performance features the rich tradition of English song as championed by English composers of the twentieth century, and culminates with Duruflé’s expansive and transcendent Requiem of 1947, written immediately after World War II.
