Phillip’s music is strongly influenced by his native Lake District and by history. His main musical influences are found in continuing and reconciling a pastoral British tradition.
Christus Resurgens (2023)
Christus Resurgens is a dramatic and gestural setting of this short Easter text. The work is in a simple rondo form with the declamatory outbursts of ‘Christus’ interspersed with more introspective matieral. The work is dedicated to Christopher Batchelor in admiration for all his support for my music at the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music.
Magnificat (2018)
My setting of the Magnificat is the fifth time I have set this text, but the first time in Latin and without an organ – it is an entirely different beast from the previous four.
Missa Sancti Albanus (2017, rev. 2023)
The Missa Sancti Albanus is an attempt at an unaccompanied mass setting which is largely polyphonic and inspired by the great settings by the Renaissance masters.
