Belshazzar's Feast : William Walton Edition vol. 4 Sheet music

Part of the William Walton Edition series

Sheet music

Description

Walton's Belshazzar's Feast is a cornerstone of the modern choral repertory.

Commissioned by the BBC and premiered at the Leeds Festival in 1931, the works sets texts selected and arranged from the Bible by Osbert Sitwell.

With its commanding baritone narrative, colourful orchestration, and jubilant choral finale, this dramatic re-telling of a well-known Biblical story is as popular today as it was at its premiere almost eighty years ago.
