About
Philip Stopford is admired in Britain and America for his beautifully crafted music, rooted in the Anglican tradition. His works are memorable and colourful, as these world premiere recordings demonstrate. The biggest piece on this album is the Missa Deus nobiscum, a sacred concert work with a scintillating role for soprano soloist that displays Stopford’s compositional skill, creating a journey rather than a sequence of set piece movements. Elsewhere, in pieces for a variety of locations and occasions, his music is evocative, filmic and vividly celebratory.

Too much at once, and it all becomes bland and soporif ic. But it ’s not easy to write choral music as sincerely meant as this: genuinely tuneful and popular, as well as being attractive and accessible to singers from across the amateur and professional spectrum.
