This contemplative setting of Psalm 23 presents the well-loved 'The Lord is my Shepherd' text within a four-part, homophonic texture. Hymn-like and lyrical, this unaccompanied composition is illustrative of Howard Skempton's concise musical language.

Über Autor(innen)

Born in Chester in 1947, Howard Skempton has worked as a composer, accordionist, and music publisher. Renowned for the distinctive clarity of his musical language, he has composed over 300 pieces, many of which are miniatures for solo piano or accordion. His orchestral and instrumental works have been recorded by, among others, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Ensemble Bash. In recent years, Skempton has concentrated increasingly on writing vocal and choral music: his
choral commissions include works for the BBC Singers and the Belfast Philharmonic Society. CDs of Skempton's choral music-Ben Somewhen (NMC D135) and The Cloths of Heaven (DCD34056)-are available on the NMC and Delphian labels.
