It features the BBC Concert
Orchestra, the Band of Her
Majesty's Royal Marines School of Music (Principal Director of Music Lt Col
John Ware OBE), the Ambrosian Singers (chorus-master John McCarthy) and guests Joan Savage , Mary Law and Gordon Langford. The programme is devised and conducted by Kenneth Alwyn.
