Paul McCartney? The Beatle? Composer of an oratorio? Of course! In 1991, McCartney composed this large-scale choral work, which premiered in Liverpool Cathedral that same year - a special honor for the composer, as he had failed an audition for the cathedral choir as a child - "Oh my goodness," as the Aachen native would say. He was all the more pleased to receive a commission from the Royal Liverpool Orchestra, which gave him the opportunity to flesh out his interest in music for choir and orchestra. At the end of the season and under the direction of Christopher Ward, members of the opera ensemble will perform this extraordinary work together with the orchestras of the Theater Aachen and the choirs of the Chorbiennale.
