A wonderful evening with @londiniumchoir.bsky.social last night. Thanks to all in the choir and @colla-voce.bsky.social for committing to a recording of Dad’s choral music in celebration of his centenary in 2027. It’ll be great!

We were thrilled to have Joanna Marsh, Tarik O’Regan, Simon Beattie and John Joubert’s daughter Anna at our concert ‘Hidden Light’ last night. Many thanks to Andrew Griffiths @colla-voce.bsky.social for a fabulous programme including all the above, plus a world premiere by our own António Sá-Dantas!

Embarrassed to have missed the actual date, but 48 hours late: Wednesday was the centenary of the great baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, one of Britten's trusted collaborators. Here's Britten asking him, tentatively, to take part in the first performance of the War Requiem, if he's not too busy.

Page 1 of a typed letter, with manuscript salutation: The Red House, Aldeburgh, Suffolk. 16th February, 1961. My dear Mr Fischer-Dieskau, Please forgive me for writing to such a busy man as yourself - you can be sure that if i did not feel very strongly I should not be troubling you! Coventry Cathedral, like so many wonderful buildings in Europe, was destroyed in the last war. It has now been rebuilt in a very remarkable fashion and for the reconsecration of the new building they are holding a big Festival at the end of May and beginning of June next year. I have been asked to write a new work for what is to us all a most significant occasion. I am writing what I think will be one of my most important works. It is a full-scale Requiem Mass for chorus and orchestra (in memory of those of all nations who died in the last war) and I am interspersing the Latin text with many poems of a great English poet, Wilfred Owen, who was killed in the First World War. These magnificent poems, full of the hate of destruction, are a kind of commentary on the Mass; they are, of course, in English. These poems will be set for tenor and baritone, with an accompaniment of chamber orchestra, placed in the middle of the other forces. They will need singing with the utmost beauty, intensity and sincerity.Page 2 of a typed letter, with manuscript signature: Peter Pears has agreed to sing the tenor part, and with great temerity I am asking you whether you would sing the baritone. You may not, I fear, be free (the dates of the two performances are May 30th and June 1st, with rehearsals the few previous days), and above all you many not feel inclined to do this, but I am earnestly hoping that you may be free and willing; in which case the direction of the Coventry Festival will write to you direct to make all practical arrangements, and I will send you the music when it is written, which will be at various stages during the year. Peter Pears joins with me in sending warm greetings. Please forgive me for troubling you, Yours sincerely, Benjamin Britten
