Neville Creed — Conductor
Neville Creed began his conducting career whilst a
choral
scholar at
Cambridge.
He
then
became
a
Director of Choral Music at Tiffin School in Kingstonupon-Thames,
providing choirs for several
highly
acclaimed recordings on radio, tv and disc. The Tiffin
Boys’ Choir recording of Mahler’s 8th Symphony with
the London Philharmonic under Klaus Tennstedt
gained a nomination for a “Grammy” award. During
this time, Neville Creed was also conductor of the
Milton Keynes Chorale and became Assistant Chorus
Master of the London Philharmonic Choir. In 1986 he
was awarded a scholarship to study conducting at the
Guildhall School of Music where he won the Ricordi
Conducting Prize. Whilst a student he conducted the
second British staging of the opera ‘Julietta’ by
Martinu and various orchestral concerts. Since
completing his studies at the Guildhall he has founded
the “London Music Chamber Choir”, gained the posts
of Conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus
and the Guildford Philharmonic Choir, as well as being
invited to return to the Guildhall as a conductor. Last
year he conducted in Denmark and Italy, as well as
conducting the Royal Philharmonic “Pops” Orchestra
on two occasions. In September 1988 he won the
second
prize
in
the
First
International
Choral
Conducting Competition held in Italy.
Alastair Miles scored a success with the Guildford
Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir in a performance of
Mozart’s ‘Requiem’ under Wilfred Boettcher in 1988.
He trained first as a flautist at the Guildhall School of
Music and pursued a freelance orchestral career,
before
making
his
operatic
debut
in
1985
with
Opera 80 as Truelove (The Rake’s Progress). Subsequently, he studied at the National Opera Studio,
firmly establishing his new identity as a singer by
winning the 1986 Decca-Kathleen Ferrier Prize, the
Esso Glyndebourne Touring Opera Award and the
1987 John Christie Award.
Since then, his operatic roles have included: Pietro in
‘Simon Boccanegra’; Diener in ‘Capriccio’; Dikoy in
‘Katya Kabanova’; Colline in ‘La Boheme’; Ferrando
in
‘Il
Trovatore’;
the Poacher in
‘Cunning
Little
Vixen’; the Spirit Messenger in ‘Die Frau ohne
Schatten’ and Raimondo in ‘Lucia di Lammermoor’.
In addition to his flourishing operatic career, Alastair
is in increasing demand as a soloist in concerts and
oratorio. He has sung with many choral societies and
orchestras throughout Great Britain, including the
Bournemouth
Symphony
Orchestra,
the
London
Mozart Players and the English Baroque Soloists
under
John
Eliot
Gardiner,
for
whom
he
has
performed and recorded the title role in Handel’s
‘Saul’, the Monteverdi ‘Vespers’, the Beethoven ‘Mass
in C’ and the ‘Missa Solemnis’.
In December 1989, Alastair made his debut in the
United States in performances of Beethoven’s Ninth
‘Choral’ Symphony with the New York Philharmonic
Orchestra under Zubin Mehta.
Guildford Philharmonic Choir
Guildford Philharmonic Choir (formerly the Festival
Choir) was formed in order to perform the major
choral repertoire with the Guildford Philharmonic
Orchestra. The choir made its first recording in 1973 of
Finzi’s ‘Intimations of Immortality’ with the Guildford
Philharmonic and in 1979 recorded Hadley’s ‘The
Trees So High’ with the Philharmonia Orchestra, both
recordings being conducted by Vernon Handley.
Neville Creed was appointed Chorus Master to the
Philharmonic Choir in September 1987, when Lynette
Newman,
the
Choir’s
accompanist,
was
also
appointed.
The Guildford Philharmonic Choir will be appearing in
Guildford Cathedral with the Freiburger Bachchor on
Saturday 28 April 1990 for a performance of
Beethoven’s ‘Missa Solemnis’ conducted by Sir
Charles Groves. This concert will be performed in
celebration of Sir Charles Groves’ 75th birthday.

RECIT. (Tenor). .....
AIR (Tenor)'~.........
When Handel set himself in the autumn of 1741, at the
age of fifty-six, to compose ‘Messiah’ he was under a
cloud of misfortune and bitter disappointment which
must have overwhelmed any but the stoutest spirit. He
was in anything but good health; his eyesight was
beginning to fail him and he was almost penniless. He
shut himself in his house (he was living in Brook Street)
and, seeing no one, hardly stopping even to touch the
food which his faithful man brought to his room, he
worked on the composition of ‘Messiah’ with such
enthusiasm that the oratorio was completed in little
more than three weeks. But he had no prospect of an
immediate performance, and it was therefore laid
aside for the time being.
In November of the same year, the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, the Duke of Devonshire, and the presidents of
three big charitable societies invited him to Dublin to

organise concerts of his own music on behalf of the
charities they had at heart. One was the provision of
food for prisoners. It was at one of these concerts that
‘Messiah’ had its first performance in April, 1742. The
singers also went over from this country, Mrs Cibber,
the actress, being the contralto. The oratorio had a

When the work was first given in London in the early
part
of 1743, at Covent Garden Theatre, it was
practically a failure. Only when it was performed in the
Foundling Hospital, in 1750, did it win its way to the
hearts of Londoners, and since then it is safe to say it
has been the most popular of all oratorios in every part
of the country.

said, “I give a fair Copy of the Score and all the Parts

Many years ago that refreshingly outspoken critic,
John F. Runciman, the baiter and bugbear of all
sombre and egotistical academicians, pointed out that
‘Messiah’ had become a Christmas institution, like
roast turkey, plum-puddings, mince pies and “other

Handel’s ‘Messiah’ is a great musical entertainment
and experience and not a very gloomy and dull musical
rite, as it used to be treated. It is full of great music that
interprets the dramatic text with astonishing fidelity.
Handel was the supreme master in using simple means
to secure mighty effects, and nowhere does he show
the stature of his genius in this direction more than in
‘Messiah’.
The Lord gave the word
