Ho Hum, Britannia!

A 2007 release.  For some reason this didn’t thrill me at all, although I was enchanted by the silliness of the title “Three Screaming Popes.” The only stuff I was familiar with, the Elgar, seemed not bombastic enough.

01. Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance March #4 In G, Op. 39/4 (4:40)
02. Maxwell Davies: An Orkney Wedding, With Sunrise (13:18)
03. Turnage: 3 Screaming Popes (16:02)
04. MacMillan: Brittania (12:42)
05. Britten: Sinfonia Da Requiem, Op. 20 - Lachrymosa (8:10)
06. Britten: Sinfonia Da Requiem, Op. 20 - Dies Irae (4:59)
07. Britten: Sinfonia Da Requiem, Op. 20 - Requiem Aeternam (6:16) 
08. Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance March #1 In D, Op. 39/1 (5:41)


See you on Monday.
