Description
Wordbooks for a morning and evening performance given on 12 November 1833 in Stoke Church as part of the Stoke-upon-Trent Musical Festival.
Described as ‘Grand Selections of Sacred Music … from the works of Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, King, etc’, both concerts were in two parts and included a large number of solo and chorus extracts from oratorio compositions, the majority by Handel. Both concerts also included a violin concerto performed by Nicholas Mori.
Both documents provide a list of patrons and stewards for the festival and cite the following vocal soloists: Misses Espley and Hardman, Mr and Mrs Knyvett and Messrs Bloore, Machin Mathews and Pearsall. Mr Giles also appeared as an obligato cello player at both performances.
