CHOIR POWER - Dies Irae from A Northern Requiem by Jonathan Francis

In the vast, echoing space of Durham Cathedral, voices rise with unflinching force in Dies Irae from A Northern Requiem by Chesterfield Studios Artistic Director, Jonathan Francis. This performance marks the 40th Anniversary of the Miners’ Strike — a defining chapter in British history that reshaped communities, families, and an entire generation. Dies Irae (“Day of Wrath”) is a cry of reckoning. Here, it becomes more than a liturgical text. It is grief and anger. It is remembrance and resilience. The choir channels the weight of loss, the solidarity of working communities, and the enduring spirit of the North. The cathedral’s ancient stone amplifies every surge of sound, every hushed moment of reflection, turning music into testimony. This is not just a performance. It is an act of collective memory — honouring those who stood, those who suffered, and those whose stories must never fade. If this moved you, share it. Keep the voices heard. #choirpower #diesirae #ANorthernRequiem #DurhamCathedral #MinersStrike #minersstrike40 #choralmusic #liveperformance #britishhistory #northeast #collectivememory #requiem #sacredmusic
