Requiem for the Fallen

This autumn the choir will be working with composer Laurence Armstrong Hughes on a concert commemorating the First World War. It will feature premieres of his newly composed English Requiem as well as his song cycle Severn and Somme for Tenor, Oboe and Harp, with soloists from Oxford and around the UK . You can find out more about Laurence and his work at his website and Youtube channel where you can hear performances of his music and where he provides an insight into his compositional practice and style of "New Lyricism".

The concert will also include a complete performance of Howells' Requiem, one of the most beautiful and searingly moving works in the entire English sacred musical canon.
