Programme Note

A Song for St Stephen is freely based on the 'Chorale'melody from the as yet unperformed Part 2 of my oratorio 'Wings of Faith'. St Stephen was the first Christian martyr, and his feast-day is celebrated on the 26th December. While intended for performance with orchestra, the work may be performed with the orchestral part arranged for organ
