Blue Tango by Leroy Anderson was a #1 hit in 1951 juxtaposing the charismatic melody over a traditional tango pulse. The work captured the spirit of an era. At the height of his career in the mid-1930s Leroy Anderson began arranging for Arthur Fiedler's Boston Pops Orchestra. Later Fiedler encouraged him to write his own tunes for the Pops. His compositions more than 50 in number virtually define the sound of the contemporary American pops orchestra.

When Queen Caroline the wife of King George II of England died on 20 November 1737 Handel was commissioned to write an anthem for her funeral service. She was buried in King Henry VII’s Chapel Westminster Abbey on the evening of 17 December 1737 with Handel’s work performed after the funeral service. To emphasize the solemnity of the occasion he used a roughly 100-piece Orchestra and 80 Choristers. The piece is a so-called “full anthem” consisting of an instrumental Introduction (“Symphony”) and thirteen interlinked choruses. The words were written by Edward Willes the Sub-Dean of Westminster at that time using passages from the King James Bible and theBook of Common Prayer albeit sometimes departing from the original wording. The absence of sections for solo voice has made this anthem a favourite among ambitious choruses and a highlight of any concert programme.

Originally composed for solo voice Dona nobis pacem combines the vocal style of the yoik tradition (a Sámi form of song) and a more classical female vocal style.
