Sir Frederick Bridge conducted, and the chief singers were Miss Carrie Tubb, Mrs Phyllis Lett, Lieutenant John Coates, and Mr Robert Radford. Mr H L Balfour played the organ, and Mr J Solomon gave the trumpet obbligato in "The Trumpet shall Sound." As usual the work was performed with Handel's accompaniments only."
