On Saturday I got to sing one of the requiems from my Rough Guide. A particularly special one, given that the composer was conducting it himself. When I wrote this piece in the summer of last year my research yielded very little information about Cheltenham-born composer Matthew Coleridge. Since then, he placed in the top 50 of Classic FM's 2023 Hall of Fame. Word is getting out. I know now that the work was not written at a time of death. In fact the opposite - Coleridge wrote it around the time of his son's birth. He says: "Whilst I was setting texts about passing from one life to the next, here was this effervescent new life, often in the same room with me. I wanted to write an intimate and particularly human response to the text." The rousing music was enhanced by the atmospheric architecture and acoustic of Gloucester Cathedral, Coleridge's home turf. The Rough Guide to Requiems is part of a 17-guide collection covering braindance, South African jazz, JS Bach and more.
