Works missing from the Proms for too long

[Tapiola]

Myaskovsky, Symphony No 21 (1961)

yes!

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Although you are being petulant...

[Beef Oven!]

QED

Dunsta(b/p)le: Veni Sancte Spiritus et emitte/Veni Sancte Spiritus et infunde/Veni Creator Spiritus mentes tuorum (last performed at the Proms in 1969); Quam pulchra es (last heard 1981); Descendi in ortum meum (last heard 2001).

These three works are the ONLY pieces (out of a total of around fifty) by Britain's greatest and most influential composer to EVER feature in the self-styled "World's Greatest Music Festival". If "works never performed at the Proms" are allowed, this is another "majority of the works of" composer I'd list.

I would like to second Aus Italien. Would sound good in the hall surely!

Another outing for Rzewski's Les Moutons de Panurge please.

Alison, you might like to listen to this.

[Barbirollians]

Raff's Cello Concerto no 1 also deserves a return to the Proms .

[Roehre]

Raff's Cello Concerto no 1 also deserves a return to the Proms .

as do his 1st (to the Fatherland), 3 (in the Forest) and 5th (Lenore) symphonies.

I'm sure we're near the end of the standard cycle of British choral works to feature on the First Night, so how about delving deeper into that realm? Something like Holst's The Cloud Messenger perhaps, Lloyd's Symphonic Mass, or Dyson's Nebuchadnezzar?

[gedsmk]

Joseph Jongen, Symphonie concertante, Op 81. London premiere was at the Proms, August 1953. Never heard since. A stonking piece. NYOGB should do it.

Please not A Symphonic Mess as I call it.

Below are some suggestions to include in the opener, the Howells works would be more top choice, along with the Bliss.

Howells: Missa Sabriensis
Howells: Stabat Mater
Holst: A Choral Symphony
Stanford: Requiem
Stanford: Stabat Mater
Bliss: Morning Heroes
Delius: A Mass of Life
Tippett: The Vision of St Augustine
