Encore! Anthems

There's nothing quite like an anthemic piece of music to uplift and inspire. This new collection in ABC Classics' best-selling ENCORE series brings you a thrilling collection with everything from the opening juggernaut of a chorus from Carmina Burana to the awe-inspiring conclusion of Beethoven's Ode to Joy. There's a clutch of John Williams - Superman, Star Wars and much more; that great moment from Chariots of Fire where the choir rings out with Jerusalem ("bring me my chariot of fire..."). More English anthems come from Elgar (Land of Hope and Glory) and Handel (Zadok the Priest), and the famous Fron Welsh Male Choir make two rousing contributions.
