Viva La Velorution

Alexander L’Estranges’s Song Cycle, commissioned to mark the Leeds Yorkshire stage of the 2014 Tour de France, comprises a modern choral work of 10 songs. The songs traverse a wide variety of musical styles including funk, folk, jazz, barbershop, pastiche Victorian Music Hall and theatre. The choir was supported by David Selfe on piano and a local jazz quintet led by Neville Lauridsen.
