Gabriel Jackson:
Airplane Cantata
Choral Symphony
Two works composed especially for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers by Gabriel Jackson, the group's most recent Associate Composer. 'Choral Symphony' was written in 2012 and is an affectionate and witty musical portrait of the City of London, using a range of texts from the Romans to Rap. 'Airplane Cantata', from 2011, tells the story of mankind's long-standing desire to fly, from the legend of Icarus to our own day, and features a virtuoso accompaniment for pianola.
