North Cotswold Chamber Choir - Lo, the full, final sacrifice

For the first concert of our 2018/19 season, we're delighted to be working with, and singing the works of, a composer new to the North Cotswold Chamber Choir. David Bednall has been described as 'one of the brightest talents in British choral music'; The Choral Journal says, 'Those of us who love choral music, and who are always searching for the "next great thing", will feel that they have found it in Bednall. His style shows a multiplicity of influences, from Messiaen and Langlais to Howells and Arthur Wills, but already it is truly his own.'

David will be leading us in a wide-ranging programme of English choral music, with a focus on music of love and remembrance - from Herbert Howells's deeply-felt Requiem, via David's three choral miniatures setting poems from the Great War, to Finzi's festival anthem which gives us the title of our programme.
