Background: The first recording ever of Sir George Dyson's choral cantata Nebuchadnezzar. Composed in 1935 for the Worcester Festival, Dyson's post-romantic work is dramatic, sumptuous, and richly melodic, recalling the work of Vaughan Williams, Howells and Bliss.

Dyson took the text for Nebuchadnezzar from the Book of Daniel, incorporating the Song of the Three Holy Children from the Apocrypha. Emulating Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, Dyson set the story in four parts. In the first three the music tells the well-known biblical story of the Jews Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and the burning fiery furnace, while the fourth is a more conventional hymn of praise, All the works of the Lord, Bless Ye the Lord - the Benedicite.
