Ian Venables – Requiem 40’
A programme pairing the music of Worcester’s greatest living composer with that of Worcester’s greatest composer. Ian Venables’ beautiful Requiem has already become a modern classic, embraced by audiences and choirs across the UK, in its original form for organ and choir. Hear it here in a powerful new version for choir and orchestra. Elgar’s touching and whimsical Mina is something of a mini-Requiem, written by Elgar in memory of his beloved dog. Visions of Piers Plowman is Michael Berkeley’s musical response to the epic poem drawn from the very Malvern Hills by William Langland.
This concert will be recorded.
