Description

JOHN TAVERNER Celtic Requiem (Requiem For Jenny Jones)
This is a super-rare 1971 UK Apple label 3-track vinyl LP, with gatefold picture sleeve and Apple inner. The sleeve has a little shelf wear and some scuffing to the edges and corners , but the vinyl appears to be in excellent condition. A much sought-after copy of this 35-year old original Apple label album SAPCOR20.

"I have compiled the libretto of THE CELTIC REQUIEM myself. The words are taken from the Missa pro Defunctis, poems of Blathmac, son of Cu Brettan, a poem by Henry Vaughan, a hymn by Cardinal Newman, a whole mass of children's singing games and nonsense rhymes mostly written by children....

CELTIC REQUIEM was first performed on 16 July 1969 by the London Sinfonietta, The London Sinfonietta Chorus and children from Little Missenden Village School, conducted by myself at the Royal Festival Hall, London."
