.....kblbllothHk M.m

EDGAR BAINTON AND I SAW A NEW HEAVEN

This anthem was completed in June 1928, during Bainton's second period on the

staff at the Newcastle upon Tyne Conservatory of Music.

The composer, who is perhaps in retrospect most celebrated in the city of Sydney,

Australia, where he was to later settle, had already seen much of life. An ill-timed

musical pilgrimage to Bayreuth saw him interned at Ruhleben for the duration

of the First World War. He was put in charge of the music and, amid the

hardship, it was a creative period for him. In early 1918 his health declined and he

was sent to The Hague to convalesce. He soon made his musical mark there, and

following the Armistice he became the first Englishman to conduct the Amsterdam

Concertgebouw Orchestra.

Another figure known largely these days only for the work present here, Bainton

saw considerable success in Australia with his opera 1he Pearl Tree, and his choral

works and partsongs were frequently performed in this country during his lifetime.
