Best of British Classical Music: an A-Z
Our British composers of the past 400 years have so much to offer that we couldn't include it all, but here's a selection of some of the top songs and orchestral music that make us proud to wave our Union Jack.
A: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
Handel’s lively piece is a perfect way to kick off our A-Z of the best British music. Its real title is simply ‘Sinfonia’, from Act III of Handel’s opera, Solomon, composed in 1748, but the ‘Arrival of the Queen of Sheba’ is much more impressive.
