The Bach Choir Roderick Williams Philharmonia Orchestra Always an exciting moment when you start rehearsing a new work. So it is today with Roderick Williams ‘Cusp’ The Bach Choir and so looking forward to how it all sounds. Motivating word tonight? !! Pitches will arrive more gradually. Rhythm rarely does that in my experience.

Thanks to Katie Derham for mentioning our new commission composed by Roderick Williams and Rommi Smith 'Cusp' on BBC Radio 3 on Good Friday. We've been enjoying this work-in-progress that Roddy shared with us, and can't wait to get stuck into rehearsing it tonight!

This is Cusp by Roderick Williams (text by Rommi Smith). It acts as a prequel to The Dream of Gerontius & raises important questions about mortality, which we don't talk about enough. We premiere it with David Hill Philharmonia Orchestra on 16 May. Hear more - thebachchoir.org.uk/concerts/the-d…

This text by @RommiSmith is from our upcoming world premiere composed by Roderick Williams. 'Cusp' is a companion piece to Elgar’s . If Rommi's words stir your emotions, imagine what David Hill and Philharmonia Orchestra will add to this gorgeous poetry on 16 May!
