The Alban Prayer

Lane, Liz

Abstract

The Alban Prayer is taken from the cantata The Story of St Alban, commissioned by St Albans Choral Society in 2015; it is heard at the end of the work and is the motivic, melodic and harmonic basis from which much of the music evolves.

Duration: 3 ½ minutes

The Story of St Alban was commissioned by St Albans Choral Society and first performed by St Albans Choral Society, narrator Andy Rashleigh, children’s choirs from St Albans and London Colney, baritone Michael Bundy, and members of Orchestra Nova, conductor George Vass, at the Weston Auditorium, Hertfordshire University, Hatfield, 12 July 2015.
