Charlton Kings Choral Society sings Mozart's Requiem and Holst's Clear and cool

Mozart's Requiem needs no introduction; it is a choral masterpiece. Holst's Clear and cool (words from The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley). is less well known. John Wright, our conductor, has edited the work from a copy of Holst's original manuscript. It has received only one performance - that was in 1897, with Holst conducting. This will be the second, but is in fact a world premiere of the version with full orchestral accompaniment, as Holst performed it with piano only.
