The BBC is billing this 2022 release as the most ambitious performance project ever undertaken by an English cathedral choir. That might be debated, but it is certainly true that the orchestral palette used here by composer Russell Pascoe is unusually large and varied. Yet, to talk purely about the size is to miss the point somewhat. Pascoe's varied orchestration is not an end in itself but is a response to his texts, which were compiled and, in one case, contributed by Anthony Pinching. This situation may be unique, and it is worth checking out Pascoe's work on that basis alone. The texts fall into five sections, somewhat reminiscent of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' five stages of grief: "The Proposition," "The Recognition," "The Reaction," "The Transition," and "The Accommodation." The first three of these (and the fourth, in an expanded version) end with a refrain in the unaccompanied women's voices of a text by Rabindranath Tagore, beginning "Peace, my heart." Beyond that are poems that approach death from a great variety of perspectives and in various moods; Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gently into that good night" is here, but so is "Cats and Cake," a touching, slightly humorous poem by Stephen Anderton that depicts a recently deceased woman enumerating tasks she has left undone. Considering all the threads Pascoe has woven together here, the music is indeed ambitious, even if there is nothing particularly new about his harmonic language. The performances by the Truro Cathedral Choir, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under Christopher Gray, and soloists Catherine Wyn-Rogers and Julien Van Mellaerts are superb. The concept of a secular requiem may be unusual, but it is a needed document, and it may be that even religious listeners will find beauty or solace in this music.
