For the final concert of the season, the Norwich Philharmonic Choir
and Orchestra join forces to perform Elgar's monumental Dream
of Gerontius. Composed by Edward Elgar in 1900, to text from
the poem by Cardinal Newman, Gerontius relates the journey of a
pious man's soul from his deathbed to his judgment before God and
settling into Purgatory. It is widely regarded as Elgar's finest
choral work, and by some to be his magnum opus.
