for mixed and children's choirs, with piano or small orchestra This vividly communicative six-movement work is full of musical contrasts, from the jaunty 'London Zoo' to the solemn 'Lines written in the Tower of London'. Making imaginative use of the two choirs, the work sets texts by Rudyard Kipling, Walter Raleigh, and William Wordsworth, alongside new material by Delphine Chalmers and the composer. The orchestration, recorded on the album In the Poet's Garden, enriches the characterization of this evocative celebration of the composer's native city.
