Did you know that Belshazzar’s Feast was supposed to be ‘a small choral work’? Sometimes composers get a little carried away, and we're glad Walton did! Here, David Hill tells the story of how that happened. The finished work contains an eight-part choir, a huge range of percussion instruments and an enormous brass section - it’s anything but small! #Choral #choirmusic #choirdirector #choirconcert | The Bach Choir
