Following the success of Jonathan Dove’s new piece Arion and the Dolphin (designed to be paired with Carmina Burana), the Nicholas Berwin Charitable Trust has funded the commission of a companion piece to Fauré’s Requiem, with forces matching the popular Oxford University Press edition by John Rutter.
The new work Still The Sirens by young composer Danyal Dhondy is approximately 27 minutes long and members can now peruse the score. The full parts are being finalised and Making Music members will soon be able to download them for free for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.
Below is a video clip of Elysian Singers rehearsing the first movement from the piece.
