for mixed choir, baritone solo, organ, and percussion
William Walton's vibrant cantata Belshazzar's Feast is arranged here by acclaimed organist David Briggs and percussionist David Bending for voices, organ, and percussion. Three performers -- the organist and two percussionists -- are charged with creating the same frisson as 90, with Briggs and Bending's arrangement ensuring this work is equally vibrant in its new guise, while opening up performance opportunities to more choirs.
The percussion part, written for two performers, is provided with vocal cues.
This version is compatible with the vocal score and percussion part available on sale separately.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sir William Walton was born in Oldham, Lancashire in 1902, the son of a choirmaster and a singing-teacher. He became a chorister at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, and then an undergraduate at the University. His first composition to attract attention was a piano quartet written at the age of sixteen. At Oxford he made the acquaintance of the Sitwells who gave him friendship, moral and financial support and in 1922 he collaborated with Edith in devising the entertainment Belshazzar's Feast. From 1922 to 1927 Walton began to spend an increasing amount of time abroad, notably in Switzerland and Italy. The war years were devoted mainly to writing film and ballet scores and he became established as amongst the greatest composers for the screen.
