Duruflé Requiem - Britten, Burton & Vaughan Williams
Music of awe and wonder. The luminous beauty and serenity of Duruflé’s Requiem is preceded by the ecstatic mysticism and playfulness of Britten’s much-loved Rejoice in the Lamb. Guest conductor James Burton presents his own composition in which St Cuthbert encounters two otters - and Vaughan Williams finds inspiration in flight, unleashing the choir and Town Hall organ to thunderous effect.
Programme includes:
Vaughan Williams A Vision of Aeroplanes, Prayer to the Father of Heaven
Britten Rejoice in the Lamb
Burton St Cuthbert and the Otters
Duruflé Requiem

Jeffrey says
"Three guest conductors - Steven Grahl, James Burton and Eamonn Dougan - have been given autonomy for one concert programme each. They bring vast experience and inspiration to our season with typically eclectic and skilfully crafted programmes. Between them they touch base with all the top Oxbridge ‘choral’ colleges and have worked with The Sixteen, Irish Baroque, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Hallé Choir and Orchestra and Schola Cantorum, Oxford. They bring not only a high-level of choral expertise, but also top quality orchestral work and the nurturing of young talent."
