Large work, published here in Piano/Vocal version only. This oratorio deals with the conversion to Christianity of the 9th-century Bohemian pricess Ludmila, grandmother of the first great Czech hero, St. Wenceslas. Although Ludmila was virtually unknown outside the Czech lands, the original British audience easily identified with the libretto's universal themes of faith, love and patriotism. This edition is a reissue of the original Novello P/V score, with some note corrections, addition of measure #s (to correspond to the orch score) and permormance notes. Full score and parts available from Supraphon (distributed by Baerenreiter).

This was first performed in the beautiful surroundings and stunning acoustics of The Chapter House at Exeter Cathedral by The Exeter University Clarinet Choir (started by one of my students, which makes me a clarinet choir grandmother!) and The Peninsula Clarinet Choir. We played facing each other across the audience as this Bb decet splits musically into two quintets which intermingle and oppose each other to mimic resounding bells. Be careful of the tuning on the high notes, and don't let the dotted rhythms become too jerky as this would disrupt the smooth flow of the arrangement.
