An English Requiem (2012) for choir
with treble, tenor, soprano and baritone soloists – and organ, with obligato trumpet in Doomsday and Offerings

Texts from the Missa Pro Defunctis (translated by the composer), Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and Tennyson’s In Memoriam

Rest; give them rest for ever, Lord
You are worthy of hymns in Zion and a vow shall be made to you in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to you.
Have mercy, Lord! Christ have mercy!
And make light to shine on them for ever!
