Longfellow’s verses, envisioning Song as an enchanting, animating spirit, filling the sails of the poet’s imagination and taking wing from his breath, describe a quality of wonderment which is uncommon in our musical age, yet pervades the music of Howard Skempton. His increasing body of choral works radiates this quality in particular; here, an unassuming chordal idiom and exceptional ear for the rhythm and nuance of English poetry are married in settings both subtle and sensitive |
