This piece is very difficult to preform, and that is why it is rarely preformed... My chior are preforming it in 5 months... nervous...

Thank you for posing this - this is like gold dust for an Olivier fan

Could you post the whole memorial service?

This is absolutely superb. Thanks for putting it on Youtube! It's one of the best settings of the text you could imagine, and such a glorious tribute to Sir Laurence Olivier, Britain no longer produces figures live Olivier and Walton today, and we are the poorer for it.

BBC commentators would probably talk all the way through it these days...

Alas this was Westminster Abbey choir at it's best. And Martin Neary giving his best performance as Master of the Choristers then. I remember watching this service. Actually i enjoyed the choir singing the last musical item which was very tear dropping fear no more by Walton or Vaughan Williams I think.

Yes I knew all about the Neary's not declaring fixing fees for the Abbey Choir and concerts. Like u said it was his own downfall.
