Programme Note
Sir Edward Elgar's mighty oratorio presents a moving portrait in sound of Jesus's disciples and the life of the early church. (Supported by the Elgar Society).
This work contains ome of the finest choral writing in Elgar’s output, glorious lyrical tunes with rich orchestral colour. Sir Adrian Boult considered it Elgar’s greatest choral work, of more consistent quality than even Gerontius.
