Ann Rachlin, commère, and the Pegasus Chamber Choir conducted by Matthew Altham, present a range of seasonal music focusing on the secular traditions of these islands, not least that of wassailing, as well as from further afield. Ann Rachlin will explore some of these which, until recently, were a feature of Kent and Sussex, The Garden of England, where apple trees, used for cider making, were wassailed at the end of the year to promote a good harvest for the forthcoming season. Repertoire will include, Vaughan Williams’ Wassail and Jesus Christ the Apple Tree by Elizabeth Poston.
