Songs of Hope and Creation

'Songs of Hope and Creation' is a major new modern oratorio. The text has a Christian basis although has a universal message, probably best conveyed by the line 'Do what you can for others while you can.' The piece has immense popular appeal, as is clear from the comments of audience, choir and orchestra members from a performance in Exeter Cathedral in 2009.

"What a triumph of musicianship, communicaton and inspiration not only in the work itself but in everything else involved in your bringing about the performance."
