The premiere of the first requiem by renowned royal composer and University of Aberdeen professor, Paul Mealor, will be performed in Edinburgh next month by the National Youth Choir of Scotland.Just seen these wonderful pictures taken of the New Zealand premiere of my ‘Symphony No 1: Passiontide’ in Auckland by the Auckland Youth Choir and their fab conductor, Lachie Craig! What a great performance and a great night!!
Symphony No 3 ‘Illumination’ is finished!! 30 minutes of full orchestra in a meditation on Dante’s beautiful lines:
“Grace abounded and allowed me to dare
to fix my gaze upon the Eternal Light,
so deep, my vision was consumed in it!
In the deep and bright essence of that exalted Light,
I beheld the Love which moves the sun."
Hear the premiere on 30th November in Cardiff given by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales!
A huge honour that my setting of, ‘If Ye Love Me’ will be sung tomorrow by the choir of St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh as the motet for The Most Excellent and Most Honourable Order of The Thistle Investiture Ceremony in the presence of HM Queen Elizabeth II, HRH The Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and HRH The Princess Royal.
