His only large-scale work not intended for the stage, Requiem is unashamedly theatrical though, veering between the really tender and the intensely dramatic.

Requiring experienced and powerful soloists, four established singers have been engaged to lead the piece.

And the 100-strong society core will be joined by the choir from Queen Elizabeth High School, as well as some extra choral singers familiar with this famous work.

Accompanied by a full professional orchestra, under the direction of Richard Green, no expense has been spared to put this together.

A society spokesman said: “What it needs now is a packed house to appreciate the culmination of all their hard work.

“Please spread the word, come along and bring a crowd of friends with you.”
