Poetry

The Easter Oratorio by Paul Spicer is a setting of John’s Gospel chs. 20–21, interspersed with my meditations on Jesus’ resurrection. It received its first two performances at the Lichfield Festival on July 15 2000 and at the Ely Festival on September 16 2000, conducted by the composer. Parts of it were broadcast by BBC radio in April 2001. It has also been performed in the United States, Truro Cathedral, and (performed by the Birmingham Bach Choir, conducted by the composer) in Birmingham and Durham in April 2005. A full CD recording has now appeared (as well as a CD of the abridged broadcast performance in April 2001), with enthusiastic reviews including ‘Editor’s Choice’ in The Gramophone, April 2006.

The Advent Oratorio by Paul Spicer is a setting of various Advent scriptural passages from both OT and NT, interspersed with my meditations on the whole theme. It received its first performance, sung by the Lichfield Special Choir accompanied by the St Chad’s Camerata, conducted by Philip Scriven, on December 5 2009, and received enthusiastic reviews in the Birmingham Post and elsewhere. A CD of the first performance is available.
