About the Song:
'Elizabethan Serenade' is a piece of light music by Ronald Binge, first played by the Mantovani orchestra in 1951. This music was the theme tune to 'Music In Miniature' on the BBC Light Programme. The lyrics are by poet Christopher Hassall, about a young girl who hears a phantom minstrel playing music beneath her window. The title 'Where the Gentle Avon Flows' references the River Avon: La Nova Singers have performed this piece live in Christchurch, Dorset, UK, where the River Avon flows through the town.

About the Choir:
Women's choir La Nova Singers exists to bring some of the most vibrant and exciting choral music to life, in concerts across the South.
We perform an eclectic repertoire of classical, sacred, operatic and contemporary choral music. Our distinctive sound comes from our shared training in the ‘Bel Canto’ technique, taught by musical director Michelle Nova. The group normally has 14 singers and is based in Bournemouth.
