Recenzii

Even with few chromatic inflections or intricate rhythms, the musical language is individual enough to test even seasoned choristers. Deft singers would have only slight difficulty absorbing Skempton's musical rhetoric, for it is consistent and logical throughout . . . the music [has] a weightless feel, imitating speech more than dance or absolute music.
At first glance, a thoroughly conventional setting of the BCP text, complete with Lord's Prayer and Amens for the collects. But things are not quite as they appear, and the vocal lines lead in unexpected directions and cadence in unexpected ways, but always with musical logic and direction. The writing allows the words to speak for themselves and has a feel of Tudor responses. As a 21st-century alternative to Stone or Byrd (and no more difficult), these are wellworth considering.
