Description

Wenceslas is a musical narrative for soloists and choir, set to new words by Charles Bennett. The work tells the story of Good King Wenceslas on the Feast of Stephen, with contrasting movements that bring the well-known carol to life in different parts. The piece features a range of styles and moods, from the touching ballad 'Thank you' sung by Page, to the strong and reflective closing movement 'On St Stephen's Night'. An orchestral accompaniment is available on hire/rental, allowing choirs to bring this vivid story to life with full instrumental support. The work includes the full five verses of the carol, skillfully interwoven throughout the piece. With its colourful array of styles and poignant storytelling, Wenceslas makes a compelling addition to any choir's repertoire.
