Requiem for a Fading World by Kerrin Tatman - Full Live Concert at Sage Gateshead

The premiere live performance of Requiem for Fading World Performed and recorded at Sage Gateshead, 22nd June 2023 www.kerrintatman.co.uk/requiem Requiem for a Fading World is a fantastical odyssey set in a post-apocalyptic world. The secular, narrative piece blends contemporary classical, choral and folk influences and turns the traditional Requiem structure on its head to tell a solarpunk, genre-bending tale for modern times. Set in a landscape of perpetual winter, where all modern fuel resources have nearly run out, we follow two solo singers – a Mother and her Daughter – on their separate journeys to navigate this harsh terrain. The Daughter leads an army into a deadly battle to capture and harness the last remnants of fuel resource available to mankind. The Mother searches for greener pastures by working with the natural world. Who will succeed? This new work by award-winning, Newcastle-based composer Kerrin Tatman is written for choir, solo singers and a chamber ensemble, and features English lyrics by Holy Moly & the Crackers songwriter Rosie Bristow. The Requiem was written and premiered as part of Kerrin's artist residency at Sage Gateshead 2022-2023. Requiem for a Fading World is also an experimental fusion of contemporary classical music and graphic novel illustration. Listeners can follow the visuals of Kris Stewart’s comic book art whilst listening to the music. The first issue of the comic spans the first and second movements Requiem Aeternam and Kyrie and is available through Kerrin's website and Bandcamp page.
