John Caldwell
A full-length retrospective of the music of John Caldwell took place on Friday 9 May 2003 at the Holywell Music Room in Oxford, England. Professor John Caldwell has become perhaps best known for his operatic trilogy based on the Easter story. The recital, featuring a large number of soloists and members of the Aldate String Quartet, under the direction of Benjamin Nicholas, featured Caldwell's Gratiarum actio for chorus and trumpet; three motets for six voices; Poem for string quartet; Parce mihi for solo tenor, chorus and keyboard; Introduction and Rondo for clarinet, violin, cello and piano; the choral work Ecce lignum; Four songs of Thomas Wyatt for alto and cello; Romanza for string quintet; Evening Prayer for clarinet, tenor and piano; Intimations of Mortality for bass voice and piano; and the world première of a new piece, Canticum ad Deum Patrem for eight voices and string quintet.
