"This is a big work musically, said conductor Gerald Fagan who was in Exeter recently. 'We have had quite a response from the London and area commu- nity," he said. And interest in the Oratorio - a sort of musical story - stems from curiosity about fonner Beatle Paul McCartney's first venture into clas- sical music. The work is a collaboration be- tween McCartney and American composer Carl Davis. The words and melodies are McCartney's, but Davis developed and orchestrated the oratorio. "What is intriguing is that McCartney has no formal training, yet can write for a symphony," Fa- gan said. "News of this concert is spread- ing quickly particularly among peo- ple who have never before been cu- rious about this type of music. This is a wonderful thing because part of our organizations mandate is to reach out into the community, edu- cate our audience and present per- formances that have not been done here before," he said. The oratorio is based on McCart- ney's early life in Liverpool, Eng- land. It covers his birth during war- time, his school days, the death of his father, his wedding, work, cri- ses and eventual peace in life. To stage the two-hour concert, 275 performers are required. Tak- ing part are: The London Fanshawe Symphonic Chorus, Gerald Fagan Singers and Concert Players Or- chestra will be joined by Saunders Secondary School Senior Choir with soloists Jane Leibel, Elizabeth Turnbull, Darryl Edwards and Gary Relyea. Although the Oratorio is being held in London, many people in this area are involved in it including Al de Haan of Exeter, Pat Dobbs of Lu - can and Donna St. John of Hensall who are singers in Fagan's choir. "People will hear wonderful melo- dies and orchestra music," Fagan said of the one night performance this Friday.
