This CD contains World Première Recordings of sacred compositions by Graham Keitch (b.1955), an English composer of works belonging stoutly to Anglican choral tradition… Keitch’s luscious harmonies reminded me of the music of the American composer Morten Lauridsen. The second item, ‘O glorious Prince St Michael’ has more of a contrapuntal feel. In this and many other works I thought of the tradition of composers like Herbert Howells, but of course all are very much the individual work of Keitch himself... The final piece, ‘The Church is built upon the earthly stone’, based on an ancient Syriac Hymn is particularly invigorating with wonderful intensely committed singing from Cantate.
