Saffron Walden Choral Society - Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius
Saffron Walden Choral Society - Elgar: The Dream of GerontiusPresented by Saffron Walden Choral Society
Elgar was inspired to write this moving choral and orchestral music after reading the poem by Cardinal Newman.
The poem and Elgar’s music follow the story of Gerontius approaching death and of his soul’s journey to meet his guardian Angel and face the judgement of God. On the way he meets choruses of angels and of demons. Eventually he is taken to purgatory before attaining everlasting glory. Saffron Walden Choral Society is delighted that Mark Wilde will be singing the role of Gerontius.
