Life has cast me aside, leaving me devoid of hope. "For God's sake," you ask, but what more can I give? My story is etched upon my brow, every desire extinguished. There's no more fight left in me. Assez de larmes ont coulé de mes yeux. La vie m'a mis de côté, me laissant sans espoir. « Pour l'amour de Dieu », demandez-vous, mais que puis-je donner de plus ? Mon histoire est gravée sur mon front, tout désir éteint. Il n'y a plus de combat en moi.

This work reflects some of the history of Manchester as seen through the Eyes of local poet Audrey Vaughan, including its origins around the river Irwell, the original monastery which became Manchester Cathedral, the industrial revolution, the Peterloo Massacre, and the singing of church and cathedral choirs up to the present day. Music composed by David Warin Solomons Conductor: Zoltán Pad Tenor soloist: József Gál Treble soloist: Csongor Gyulai Organist: Zsolt Mészáros Pianist: Dániel Dinyés The boys' choir's conductor was Márton Tóth who taught the piece to the children.

For mine Eyes have seen: thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. The Book of Common Prayer, 1662 ORIGINAL TEXT Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace: Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum: Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto: Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.  less
