for soprano soloist, mixed choir, and orchestra or ensemble (with
organ) This is one of the best-loved and most widely performed
choral works of the twentieth century. The texts (in Latin and
English) are from the Missa pro Defunctis, the Book of Common
Prayer, and the Psalms. The seven sections form an arch-like
meditation on the themes of life and death: prayers on behalf of
all humanity, psalms, personal prayers to Christ, and in the
central Sanctus an affirmation of divine glory. The full scores
have been edited and engraved by the composer himself and are
presented in handsome, cloth-bound editions. Vocal and orchestral
material is available on hire.
for SATB choir and organ This appealing motet for SATB choir and
organ accompaniment was written in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Although the prevailing mood of the gently flowing music is
lyrical, with an atmosphere of loving peacefulness, William Blake's
Lullaby is not without its darker undertones, and they too are
explored, with one or two bold harmonic touches.

The first large-scale study of the music of Herbert Howells,
prodigiously gifted musician and favourite student of the
notoriously hard-to-please Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. Herbert
Howells (1892-1983) was a prodigiously gifted musician and the
favourite student of the notoriously hard-to-please Sir Charles
Villiers Stanford. Throughout his long life, he was one of the
country's most prominent composers, writing extensively in all
genres except the symphony and opera. Yet today he is known mostly
for his church music, and there is as yet relatively little serious
study of his work. This book is the first large-scale study of
Howells's music, affording both detailed consideration of
individual works and a broad survey of general characteristics and
issues. Its coverage is wide-ranging, addressing all aspects of the
composer's prolific output and probing many of the issues that it
raises. The essays are gathered in five sections: Howells the
Stylist examines one of the most striking aspect of the composer's
music, its strongly characterised personal voice; Howells the
VocalComposer addresses both his well-known contribution to church
music and his less familiar, but also important, contribution to
the genre of solo song; Howells the Instrumental Composer shows
that he was no less accomplished for his work in genres without
words, for which, in fact, he first made his name; Howells the
Modern considers the composer's rather overlooked contribution to
the development of a modern voice for British music; and Howells in
Mourning explores the important impact of his son's death on his
life and work. The composer that emerges from these studies is a
complex figure: technically fluent but prone to revision and
self-doubt; innovative but also conservative; a composer with an
improvisational sense of flow who had a firm grasp of musical form;
an exponent of British musical style who owed as much to
continental influence as to his national heritage. This volume,
comprising a collection of outstanding essays by established
writers and emergent scholars, opens up the range of Howells's
achievement to a wider audience, both professional and amateur.

for chamber orchestra The instrumentation for this work is the same
as Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5. The Suite is made up of six
movements ranging from a 'Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard

strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically

style.
