Recorded last week on their Scandinavian tour, the 蜜芽传媒 Singers perform choral works from the 16th century as well as our own day, with a particular focus on music evoking the sights, sounds and places of the City of London.

In part one, music by the two greatest composers of Elizabethan London - Thomas Tallis and William Byrd - is placed alongside works by two Danish contemporaries. Mogens Pederson studied with Giovanni Gabrieli and later visited London with the court of the Danish King, while Thomas Schattenberg was for many years an organist in the Danish capital.

Following that, a work by Michael Tippett celebrating the Coronation of Elizabeth II is the cue for music by a famous Londoner of the 17th century - Henry Purcell, performed in modern reworkings by Sven-David Sandstr枚m and Bob Chilcott. And the programme is completed by a piece celebrating the City itself: the new work by 蜜芽传媒 Singers' Associate Composer Gabriel Jackson (receiving its premiere performances on this tour) is a four-movement symphony for unaccompanied voices which celebrates both London itself and its vibrant multiculturalism.
