Program Six • London Calling! Fun in Cockaigne!: The Poisoned Kiss Vaughan Williams (+1 More)

Program Six offers an entertaining and wholly original tour through half a century of British light music with a commentary by Christina Baade, whose publications include the multiple award-winning Victory Through Harmony: The BBC and Popular Music in World War II. Spanning the period from pre-World War I music hall to Windrush generation calypso, by way of classics from Ivor Novello, Vera Lynn, Noël Coward, Noel Gay, and many more, this includes selections from Vaughan Williams’s all-but-forgotten operetta The Poisoned Kiss, flanked by examples of the 1920s jazz and tango that helped inspire it.
