- When he was just a tousle-haired lad of 11, PAUL MCCARTNEY
- tried to join the boy's choir at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral.
- It turned him away. The pop singer's revenge came last week,
- when Liverpool Oratorio, his first classical work, was staged
- at the cathedral in celebration of its 150th anniversary. Some
- 300 singers and musicians, including opera heavyweight Dame Kiri
- Te Kanawa (but not the ex-Beatle himself), performed the loosely
- autobiographical 90-minute piece, co-written by American
- composer Carl Davis. Quite a homecoming for the breezy
- balladeer, perhaps the richest songwriter who never learned to
- read music.
