Symphony: 'Vigil' - Third Part of the Orchestral Triptych Triduum: Hawkes Pocket Score 1552

More about the book

The composition explores the themes of the Triduum Paschale, reflecting on the significant events and liturgy of Holy Week, including the Last Supper, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil. As the final piece in a trilogy commissioned by the London Symphony Orchestra, it connects with two earlier works, "The World's Ransoming" and a Cello Concerto, both from 1996. Together, these pieces create a profound musical narrative that delves into historical and spiritual dimensions of the Easter celebration.
