The Farthest Shore will be performed by the BBC Singers, Onyx Brass and Daniel Cook, under Nicholas Cleobury on 2 July at St Bride’s on Fleet Street.
This 35 minute Celtic tale is inspired by folklore and history of the mystic isle of Anglesey and is part oratorio, part opera.
Paul said: ‘I have always been drawn to oratorio ... this will be a first for me and enable me to develop, on a large canvas, ideas of homogeneity and conflict within a harmonic framework.’
James MacMillan’s Cantos Sagrados and Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb will also be performed at the same event while a subsequent performance of Paul’s composition will take place on 6 July at St. Leonard’s Church, Hythe.
The composer hit the headlines back in 2011 when 2.5 billion people heard Ubi Caritas, the piece he wrote for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Westminster Abbey in April 2011.
The Farthest Shore was funded through Beyond Borders from the PRS for Music Foundation, Creative Scotland, Arts Council Northern Ireland and Arts Council Wales.
