Last week, my son was involved in a production of Harvey Brough's "Requiem in Blue", performed in Bath Abbey with half a dozen choirs, various weird instruments and the Abbey organ. I'd never heard of the piece before but it was astonishing, pulling together classical, jazz, folk and pop, with wondrous choral stuff floating above it all. And my lad was part of it. One of those spine-tingling parental moments that I'll treasure for years to come. Here are two extracts from a CD recording of the piece.
