Here is a plug for my Uncle’s Oratorio.
“The Living Word” by Christopher J. Archer
The Living Word is a work for choir, orchestra, organ and soloists. It was premiered in 1999 at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Auckland. It is a great piece of music and is being performed again at St Heliers Presbyterian this Easter. He has a short documentary on the original production at YouTube.
If you’re interested in more of Chris’ work or for more info on the Oratorio, let me know and I’ll pass on your interest.
