A journey to Elgar's Sea Pictures

Sara Mohr-Pietsch maps a musical landscape around Elgar鈥檚 Sea Pictures, listening in deeply to find sonic connections across time and space.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch maps the musical terrain around Thomas Tallis鈥檚 40-part motet Spem in Alium, wandering down sonic avenues that link music across time and space. We take journeys across the brine with Schubert, Mozart, Britten Grace Williams and Charles Trenet, delve into the history of the song cycle with music by Martin Codax and Berlioz, and we hear Handel from the voice of Dame Clara Butt, the extraordinary contralto for whom Elgar wrote his Sea Pictures.
