George Dyson’s Nebuchadnezzar (1935) is a dramatic choral work depicting the Babylonian king’s downfall and redemption. The music shifts from grandeur to introspection, reflecting the king’s pride, punishment, and eventual spiritual awakening. We’ll also hear shorter popular works, including Finzi’s Seven Poems of Robert Bridges and Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine.
