Part 2 conducted by Benjamin Britten
Britten's CANTATA ACADEMICA Carmen Basiliense was composed for the celebrations of the quincentenary of the University of Basle, and was first performed on July 1, 1960, by the Baste Chamber Choir and Orchestra, directed by Paul Sacher. The Latin text was compiled by Bernard Wyss from the charter of the University and from older orations in praise of Basle.
