Hereford Chamber Choir, Dir. Simon Harper will be performing my settings of the two Edward Thomas poems Interval and Will You Come? commissioned by the choir last year for their ‘Dymock Poets Re-Imagined’ project at the Ledbury Poetry Festival.
Read a review by Paul Conway in Musical Opinion (Oct-Dec 2023) of the premiere here
I’m very much looking forward to working with Simon and the choir again on these. The poetry of Edward Thomas has always been important to me, and these settings are two of the very few times I’ve set Thomas’s verse to music, as well as having a particularly personal resonance.
Details of these two performances below.
