Late revival
n orchestral work by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor unperformed for over a century has been given a new lease of life at this year’s Three Choirs Festival. Hiswas premiered at the festival back in 1899, but has since gone unnoticed – until, that is, a recent stock-take of works premiered at the Three Choirs brought it to light. For the 2021 re-release, performed by the Philharmonia at Worcester Cathedral, a new orchestral score was specially prepared by Faber Music.
