A Cantata for Tenor and Baritone Soloists, Chorus and Organ
The Divine Compassion is a major work, a full-length cantata for tenor and baritone solos, chorus and organ, with a text based on the Gospel of John. Like all Lloyd Webber`s compositions this one is melodic, skilfully written, romantic and lovely to sing.
We are delighted to celebrate the centenary of William Lloyd Webber with this eight-book collection.
Showcasing him in the light of a composer who was true to himself and who fully embraced his signature style, this is music that is romantic, melodious and – above all – heartfelt.
This is also music that goes beyond the accepted conventions of his day – music whose time has come!
