Tchaikovsky Stokes David Wilson Johnson Bedford Matthews Kensington Symphony Orchestra Southwark Cathedral 1865 1978
Tchaikovsky's Cantata to a translation of Schiller's "Ode to Joy" was first performed in St. Petersburg in 1865. Because it was written for his graduation examinations at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, Tchaikovsky considered it an "immature" work, so it remained unpublished during his lifetime. The work requires four soloists, chorus and orchestra and received its first British performance in the Southwark Cathedral, near London Bridge, on 28 November 1978. The vocal soloists were Valerie Hill, soprano; Elizabeth Stokes, contralto; William Kendal, tenor, and David Wilson-Johnson, bass. The Kensington Choir, Stoke-on-Trent Bedford Singers and the semi-amateur Kensington Symphony Orchestra were conducted by Leslie Head. The audio is not of professional or broadcasting standard, having been privately recorded in the cathedral some distance from the performers. However, as it was the UK Premiere of a rarely-played student work by a composer who went on to become one of the world's greatest, it is presented here out of historic interest. The Russian text, itself translated from the German, is here given in an English translation by Roland Matthews. It should be noted that the words are subjected to frequent and overlapping repetitions throughout the whole work.

Ralph Vaughan Williams Merbecke Southwark Cathedral
Vaughan Williams' setting of George Herbert's poem "Vertue". This performance is by the Merbecke Choir of Southwark Cathedral, directed by Huw Morgan, at an event hosted by Poet in the City dedicated to the life and works of George Herbert. Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bridall of the earth and skie: The dew shall weep thy fall to night; For thou must die. Sweet rose, whose hue angrie and brave Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye: Thy root is ever in its grave And thou must die. Sweet spring, full of sweet dayes and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie; My musick shows ye have your closes,1 And all must die. Onely a sweet and vertuous soul, Like season'd timber, never gives; But though the whole world turn to coal, Then chiefly lives. www.merbecke.org.uk www.poetinthecity.co.uk
