The judges said: "Wyatt has already won one Tinniswood Award, and we had no doubt that the outstanding fluidity and intelligence of Gerontius, the haunting near-perfection of it, could warrant a second.

Elgar, Newman, and the Dream of Gerontius by Percy Marshall Young Pdf
By reason of Newman's text and the religious antecedents of the composer, Elgar, The Dream of Gerontius has assumed a unique place in English music. This book examines its relationship to the English Catholic tradition. The significance of music within the centuries of struggle towards emancipation and the importance of music and musicians attached to the Catholic Embassy chapels in London during the 18th and 19th centuries are considered in relation to the creative careers both of Newman and Elgar.
(Music Sales America). Edward Elgar's The Dream Of Gerontius is a splendid oratorio for Mezzo-soprano, Tenor and Bass with Chorus and Orchestra. It is based on the epic poem, The Dream of Gerontius by John Henry Newman written in 1865. The original vocal score of Gerontius was actually printed before Elgar's had even finalised or completed his final orchestration and as such it was printed without many of the markings that were added in the later full score. This new edition brings vocal and full scores into agreement for the first time having been authentically and effectively edited by Hywel Davies and Bruce Wood, and also includes helpful notes on the background to the work as well as an outline of the editorial procedure and list of sources. This New Novello Choral Edition of the vocal score with piano reduction of the orchestral material includes a detailed foreword listing history, sources and editorial proceedure.
