Oratorio and his cantata, Jesu, Priceless Treasure, Elgar’s The Music Makers, and the concert version of the folk opera Hugh _ the Drover, by Vaughan | Williams. For the Bach Mass, the choir has been augmented to 150 singers. The
soloists are Shirley Brewer (soprano), Patricia Price (mezzo-soprano), Jean Tennent (contralto), William Dent (tenor) and Donald McIntyre (bass). The pianist is Hannah Stratford, the organist is Geoffrey Skerrett and the conductor is Harry Luscombe,
