A powerful evocation of the destruction and death brought about by the violence of war and an elegy to fallen friends.

A moving performance of works that evoke the futility of war and destruction and the final concert in a series with the City of London Choir and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which explores the ground-breaking work of Ralph Vaughan Williams in a European context.

This concert pairs Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music with music by his teacher Ravel. Written in 1938, Serenade to Music has an atmosphere of shimmering contentedness that belies the prevailing tension of the time. In contrast Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin was written throughout the First World War and each movement is dedicated to a friend of Ravel’s who was killed in the conflict.

Storm clouds were already brewing in Europe in 1936 when Vaughan Williams wrote Dona nobis pacem, a powerful musical evocation of the destruction and death brought about through war and violence. A powerful and dramatic work, it speaks vividly of the harshness and cruelty of war, and also captures the mood of its own time in an anguished, pre-emptive lament for what was about to come. As Simon Heffer puts it, Dona Nobis Pacem ‘confirms that this is now a composer whose main inspiration is drawn not from the soil of England, but from the whole world going mad around him’. The cantata ends on a note of reconciliation and hope transcending nations and borders, binding Vaughan Williams to humanity everywhere.
