Thank you for doing that documentary on that piece. I love it. I was watching a St.Olaf Choir concert on TV years ago with my laptop on my lap and my phone to my ear and my iPad playing a game and that song came on and I stopped everything to listen to it. I just started directing an SATB choir at a church in Suburban Chicago and it is my hope that I can do that song with them this Christmas season.

"In many different idioms" is a wonderfully intriguing and frustrating remark, since you don't elaborate. In particular you don't speak of the influence of Vincent Perischetti on KL. "Vocal essence" without a choir singing seems to defeat the object! His native Wakefield connections (a chorister singing in All Saints Cathedral) were never severed. He wrote a Missa Brevis for Choir and Organ for Wakefield and the Festival Fanfare > was composed during August of 1968 and written for the inaugural West Riding Cathedrals Festival, which combined the three Yorkshire cathedral choirs of Sheffield, Bradford & Wakefield and took place on the 1 and 2 November that same year, hosted by Sheffield Cathedral. Graham Matthews, the then recently appointed organist of Sheffield Cathedral, writes how: ‘Knowing that Kenneth Leighton was associated with Wakefield Cathedral, I wrote to him personally about the forthcoming festival, suggesting the title ‘Festival Fanfare’ and requesting a five minute solo organ piece. This commission was promptly fulfilled to the letter.’ Matthews gave the Festival Fanfare its first two performances during the festival, as a voluntary for a festal evensong and as the opening work of a grand concert of the combined choirs with a Festival Orchestra. [Notes from Stephen Farr's Leighton recording CD]

I adore Gerald Finzi's music, it's often got real depth. Not a vocal work, but I recommend people to listen to the Eclogue for Piano and Strings.

Thanks for this! I’m currently learning the Nom d’Alain P&F and I’m just obsessed with Duruflé at the moment, so it was such a treat to find your really warm and affectionate presentation about both Marcel and Mme. D. Her tempi are so fiendishly fast - the d’Alain is quite a feat at the composer’s mm. but her recording makes that seem quite slow!!

I’m hoping you can help me. I remember singing a choral piece when i was in middle school that might have been by Distler, but for the life of me I cannot find a recording or even acknowledgement of this piece on his Wikipedia page. Chat GPt assures me it is OP 20 and here is the text below. Are you familiar and is there a recording you like? I am 29 and still remember feeling so empowered by this piece and I appreciate very much your brief and thoughtful historic reconnaissance of this composer. Here’s the text from “Im Munde des Drachen” by Hugo Distler: Im Munde des Drachen stehe ich, in der Macht des Bösen schwanke ich nicht. Ich stehe und singe, ich stehe und singe! In des Feindes Rachen wage ich mich, vor des Bösen Augen weiche ich nicht. Ich stehe und singe, ich stehe und singe! In der Welt, wo der Drache regieret, wo die Nacht des Bösen die Sonne verfinstert, da stehe ich und singe, da stehe ich und singe!

Hi Philip, I’ve been coming back to this video the last few days. I was fortunate to find it when I went looking for an interview with Sir Malcolm. I enjoyed your stories of him and I have been completely overtaken by his arrangement of the hymn. I keep coming back to the modulating middle section and I’m listening to it a lot because it’s helping me with my writing. This deserves a lot more views. He was something special. Of course I came to know who he was thorough his prelude and theme to the animated adaptation of watership down. Scratching the surface. All the best.

My dear, Mexico was only the name of the capital. The political entity was called the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and then Sumaya Was Newspanish, not Mexican. A bit of rigor is needed when studying history, please, and use the correct terminology.

My wish is that everyone would be a subscriber to VocalEssence, and each morning would start out with one glorious song by VE for them. For us. The world would be a much better place to live in for all. I know that the world is a better place for me just knowing that VocalEssence sings in it, even when I am not listening their song goes into the darkness and brings to it light. Thank you so much for the gift you share with us.

I sang Yon's exquisite Missa Regina Pacis (in Eb, in honor of St Vincent Ferrer) in 1963 and '64, as a member of my church choir (I was 12) in NW Indiana. An overwhelming experience for a young musician-to-be. I am surprised and delighted to see a number of amateur performances posted on You-Tube...proving that the work's beauty lives on.

Acabo de escuchar esa pieza de Eric Whitacre, un compositor y director que honestamente no conocía hasta hoy, pero que me recomendó el otro día mi amigo Javi. ¡Tantos "voicings" que me han hecho recordar a mi querido Allan Holdsworth! Por ejemplo ese del minuto 0:55 al 0:59. Es lo mismo que el primer acorde de "House of Mirrors". Bueno, aquí es C(add4) y el de Allan es B(add4), pero es exactamente la misma disposición. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7Biebqky5nUmok.html

Eric Whitacre has said how much he admires the way Bach makes a palette of tonal colours from a chord to make a melody, and produce a mood. He also understands the human voice and the personality of a choir like Gustaf Holst, and shares Holst's love for educating and writing for young voices. So I think of Whitacre as "channelling " both Bach and Holst for the 21st century, and think those composers would both admire his music the way the rest of us here do.
