The Vision Of Cleopatra was composed by Havergal Brian with words by Gerald Cumberland. The work is a tragic poem for Orchestra, Soli and Chorus, but this is the Vocal Score. A performance of the entire piece lasts approximately 40 minutes. First performed in 1909 at the Southport Triennial Music Festival, The Vision Of Cleopatra  is one of Brian 's lesser-known works - he is perhaps more famous for his prolific composition of symphonies, with some 32 completed in his lifetime. Despite this, a contemporary review of The Vision Of Cleopatra  stated that in the composition, "genius there is undoubtedly".The Vision Of Cleopatra was composed by Havergal Brian with words by Gerald Cumberland.
