Peter Seymour conductor
’This is the best of me’ – wrote Elgar on his
score of The Dream of Gerontius, a statement
echoed by audiences and musicians alike
boxoffice@york.ac.uk
since the work’s premiere in 1900. Elgar's vivid
setting of Cardinal Newman’s poem depicts
the journey of a man’s soul led by his Angel
from his deathbed to judgement before God.
On his way, he encounters angels and demons,
all colourfully portrayed by the chorus, before
settling finally in Purgatory. Elgar’s music is
Wagnerian in scope with other influences
including liturgical music, Verdi and even, in
the Demons’ chorus, music hall. The University
Choir and Symphony Orchestra join together
for this favourite of soloists, choirs, orchestras
and audiences alike, providing a glorious
conclusion to the University concert season
in the atmospheric setting of York Minster.
