James Oxley

Conductor:
Christopher Robinson

Background: Kenneth Leighton's distinctive compositional voice is characterized by, lush harmonies, subtle dissonance, rhythmic energy and a lilting, angular lyricism. Pithy thematic ideas and syncopated rhythms are allied to a brilliant mastery of counterpoint and a unique sense of melody borne of a lifelong love of hymns, chorale and chant.

This collection features the two contrasting Canticle Settings, the Easter Sequence scored for boys' voices, organ and trumpet (played here by Crispian Steele-Perkins) and Crucifixus pro nobis, the austere, miniature masterpiece of a Passion setting for tenor, choir and organ which climaxes with one of English choral music's remarkable icons 'Drop, drop, slow tears'.
