In 1937 British composer Benjamin Britten was commissioned to write a piece for the BBC that, once it was performed, laid dormant for more than fifty years. "In the Company of Heaven" is an impressive work and will be performed this weekend by Dartmouth's Handel Society. We'll talk with conductor Robert Duff about the significance of the work and what it says about Britain in the 1930's.
