The Convent of Saint Augustine of Felanitx received the last April the premiere in Spain of this work by British composer Howard Goodall (1958). First introduced in 2008, Eternal Light: A Requiem won first prize at the Classical BRIT Award for Composer of the Year. Now is presented in the Teatre Principal of Palma.
Featuring the soprano Silvià Fluixà, the tenor Antoni Lliteres, Cor Ciutat de Palma, directed by Joan Lainez, and Jove Orchestra Illes Balears, directed by Joan Barceló.
Through 10 movements, Goodall gathers in his Requiem the classical Latin texts (typical for this kind of works) with poems by English writers of the past 500 years.
