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.
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.
Ave Maria, mater Dei (2017)
Ave Maria, mater Dei is a setting of the text set so imaginatively by William Cornysh in the Eton Choirbook. My work takes the text and uses it in a rhapsodic fashion with two off-stage sopranos augmenting the main choir.
Nunc Dimittis (2017, rev. 2023)
This work has been first performed Exeter University Chapel Choir and has since been programmed all across the world. It is dedicated to Paweł Łukaszewski.
Twelfth Night (2017)
Twelfth Night is a simple setting of Laurie Lee’s much-loved poem of the same title in which the poet vividly depicts a winter scene to emphasise the coming of the Wise Men.
