I was priveleged to be able to take part in a recent performance as a choir member. This is the most moving work I have ever sung. The work has stirring, dramatic movements and some poignant, beautiful melodies. I really had to take a grip on myself in the performance to be able to sing the last movement. Even hearing an excerpt from the cello solo as background to a short wildlife documentary on TV made the tears well up.

    We have just started this work in our choir, and I'm really enjoying it. It's stirring, moody and misty qualities enhance the dramatic qualities of each section, and evoke sensitive emotions. Our choir are looking forward to performing this work in Jersey later this year !
