Gloucester's claim to musical fame rests on more than its one-third share in the Three Choirs
Festival. Sir Hubert Parry , Gerald Finzi ,
Herbert Howells and Ivor Gurney all lived in or around the city. As Britain's "composer county", Gloucestershire also numbers
Vaughan Williams and Hoist among its native sons.
Andrew Green presents a selection of music largely from between the wars - an important period in the city's history - including
Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis
Gumey Songs
Finzi Severn Meadow
Howells Magnificat (Gloucester Service)
