Description:
This cantata for chorus, chamber orchestra and narrator tells the story of Alban, the first British Martyr with its libretto by Stephen Tunnicliffe. Musically the work uses contrasting and iconic motifs throughout in a recognisably Joubert fashion. The St Albans Chamber Choir gave the first performance in St Albans Abbey on 7 June 1969, and conducted by Richard Stangroom. The Spoken narrations are accompanied by organ.
