What is the title of Paul McCartney's 1991 classical oratorio?

Paul McCartney's 1991 classical oratorio is titled Liverpool Oratorio. The work was composed by McCartney in collaboration with conductor Carl Davis to commemorate the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra's 150th anniversary.

McCartney and Davis began developing the project in 1988. Although McCartney had written extensively for rock and pop ensembles, the oratorio represented his first major venture into large-scale classical music. Its story loosely follows McCartney's own life through a character named Shanty, who grows up in Liverpool, marries, faces family crises and becomes a parent.

The premiere took place at Liverpool Cathedral on 28 June 1991, with the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and professional soloists including Kiri Te Kanawa, Jerry Hadley, Sally Burgess and Willard White. The associated live recording was released in October 1991. “Liverpool Oratorio” is the commonly used short title; the full release title is Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio, so the stored answer identifies the canonical work clearly.
