Peter Bannister on the creation of “Et iterum venturus est”
Filed Under Bannister: Et iterum venturus est, Videos, Interviews | Leave a Comment
In an April 2009 interview (video below), composer Peter Bannister revealed insights on the creation of his oratorio Et iterum venturus est, a work commissioned by Soli Deo Gloria and written in memory of Olivier Messiaen.
. . .
The title of Bannister’s piece, Et iterum venturus est, is taken from the Nicene Creed, and is translated, “And he shall come again”. The work dually focuses on the Advent and Second Coming of Christ. Et iterum venturus est received its world premiere performance on the eve of Messiaen’s 100 birthday anniversary, in the final concert of the centenary cycle at Messiaen’s own Paris church of La Trinité.
