BBC News - Vaughan Williams choral work to premiere next year

An unperformed choral work composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams more than 100 years ago will be premiered next year.
The 45-minute piece, called A Cambridge Mass, was discovered during an exhibition at the Cambridge University Library.
Conductor Alan Tongue, who found the piece, said: "I knew immediately that here was a significant work."
Mr Tongue will conduct the concert, which will take place in March.

WOW!!!

Can't wait to hear it.

His Cambridge music is fun to listen to:

I expect there's a reason it hasn't been heard in 100 years but "Hope waxes eternal in the human breast."

Ever since I learnt about confirmation bias I've started seeing it everywhere

I've sung several choral pieces by him, but way back in my youth.
