Pacific Dreams describes the experience of Miguel, a traveling composer from Spain. As well as his homeland Bolero themes, we are treated to an evocative itinerary which includes Sydney's Rocks and Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour, Hawaii, Tahiti and the lakes of Japan! The mixed choir uses the vocabularies of islands like Hawaii and Tahiti, their beautiful vowel combinations sung ad libitum. 8:00

Although Csar Franck won many prizes during his student days, his music was generally unrecognized by his contemporaries. His pieces were written in the romantic style while retaining a classical structure, and his later compositions were referred to as 'cathedrals of sound'. Panis Angelicus is poetic and almost serene, and this arrangement by Philip Sparke retains all of the beauty of the original.
