Taking place in the Chapel of St Peter and St Paul, this is a Threnody to the sacred memory of Admiral the Honourable John Byng.
In 2007, Thane Byng, a collateral descendant of Admiral Byng, was presented with a musket ball (18th century ammunition) as a gift. It took place outside Southill Church, Bedfordshire, where her forebear is buried – and on the day of the 250th anniversary of his death. This gesture instantly inspired the idea for the oratorio. Many years have passed to reach the accomplishment that Piers Maxim’s composition has achieved.
