The work is loosely based on the biblical allegory of Jonah and the Whale , although Tavener admitted that The fantasy grew and perhaps at times nearly swallowed the biblical text so the swallowing of Jonah became almost literal in the biblical sense. ref Original liner notes ref blockquote The libretto includes the words of an encyclopaedia entry describing certain facts about the whale, and this is contrasted with themes within the music which attempt to portray the reality of the whale itself, whose existence is greater than the sum of all the facts about it. The Whale has eight sections I. Documentary, II. Melodrama and Pantomime, III. Invocation. IV. The Storm, V. The Swallowing, VI. The Prayer. VII. In the Belly, and VIII. The Vomiting. It was premiered at a Proms concert on 1 August 1969, with the London Sinfonietta under David Atherton with soloists Anna Reynolds singer Anna Reynolds , Raimund Herincx , Alvar Lidell and the composer playing pipe organ pipe and hammond organ s. In July 1970, The Whale was recorded in Islington , London with the same musicians. It was released as an album by The Beatles Apple Records label later that year. The album was re released on record in 1977 on Ringo Starr s label, Ring O Records, with a different cover.
