This is a divine piece of work. I am delighted that in May 2023 it will be performed in Belfast with the Ulster Orchestra, along with a newly commissioned work. I can't wait!
We went to the ulster Hall on Friday 4th May to hear Travellers All in Time and Space. These movments were the first twenty minutes, strings , organ and choir. Astoundingly moving and beautiful. It continued to be so throughout the entire performance. Credit to all involved. The final part was mesmerising. If it comes around again , anywhere , go.
In addendum. We listened to Neil Hannon's Fathers in Distress , the choir Consort were sublime. Then Khachtauriann , Adagio from Sparticus, Raplh Vaughan Williams Norfolk Rapsody No.1 , Neil Hannon's As The Sun Birghtens The Shadows Deepen. The Organist was perfection as were the 70+ Ulster Orchestra. Wonderful
Unfortunately it's never been properly released (I have no special connections, I'm just a fan who recorded it when it was briefly on the BBC iPlayer). You might be able to contact Hannon through the official divinecomedyhq page on Facebook or Twitter.
Robascus Sadly it hasn't been officially released. It was available to stream on the BBC iPlayer, but only for a couple of weeks in March/April 2014. Before they took it down, I saved it and posted it here. As far as I'm aware, this is the only place you can hear it.
A mighty fine Organ at that. It sounds fantastic after the restoration! My wife sings at RFH regularly with the London Philharmonic Choir so get to hear it quite a lot!
Thank you so much for sharing this
What a lovely tribute to his father. Rest in peace Bishop Hannon.

Neil Hannon..a genius,this is what talent sounds like. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for publishing this. It's a wonderful piece, and it's such a shame it's not more widely available.
I too love this piece. Thank you for posting.
I sang in this! With Jill Barrett! On Radio 3! And it was great!
Who was the conductor please? I'm trying to figure out if I can get a study score. Thank you!

This is wonderful!
this is a beautiful work
thanks a milion
and the choir was Voicelab!
I thought that was Neil Hannon dressed as an old priest :)
Do you know who publishes the work? Or how I could contact the composer? I'd like to get a study score of it for my graduate choral literature class.

So pleased you saved and posted this. I listened to it a lot on iPlayer when it was on there. I find it a very moving piece.
Wonderful and thank you for posting but why not credit the performers and the Royal Festival Hall organ?
Good point! I'll add the credits to the description.

Only just come across this, thanks to Philip Bell. Well played Tom Bell!
Marvellous stuff, absolutely love it.
