Frank Martin鈥檚 Mass has a luminous quality which is profoundly beautiful and, though written in the 1920s, was kept in a bottom drawer by the composer for 40 years. Hillborg鈥檚 work exploits the virtuoso technique of the choir in a work whose sounds go beyond text setting whilst Paul Crabtree鈥檚 new work, premiered here, provides reflections on Stanley Spencer paintings with biblical texts. Music by Maxwell Davies completes the programme with his Mackay Brown settings reflecting the Orkney winter.
