A new work for Narrator and Orchestra - The Gift of the Magi by Lawrence Killian and Matthew Lockyer

For Narrator and Orchestra. approx. 12 minutes
Music by Lawrence Killian
Script/ Narration by Matthew Lockyer

Based on ‘The Gift of the Magi’ by O.Henry (William Sidney Porter)

The scene is set on Christmas Eve during the era of the Wall Street Crash in New York. The music uses popular styles of the time: blues, ragtime, and jazz, with a few Christmas carol themes among them.

Raedwald Brass and choir concert including a performance of Mathias’ Ave Rex.

Looking forward to going to this concert with the whole family. My new piece for narrator and orchestra ‘Mince Spies’ will be receiving the world premier performance. Sarah Killian is selling her newly published book at the concert too.
