Apart from one independently conceived piece, the so-called Worcester Overture, written for the Three Choirs Festival, they are taken from four of the odes, two stage works and Solomon. The set presents the four works modelled on the more progressive Italian sinfonia first, followed by those based on the traditional French overture style. -Robert J.
