British-based Convivium Records announces the release of Dan Locklair Gloria (CR033), featuring performances of the composer’s sacred choral works by Sospiri, conducted by Christopher Watson, and Winchester College Chapel Choir with the Portsmouth Grammar School Chamber Choir, led by Malcolm Archer.
This CD brings together pieces composed with texts that come from across the liturgical year. The works represent the style of Dan Locklair’s vocal music and show his skill and imagination in settings for a cappella choir, pieces for voices with organ accompaniment, and the central work Gloria with large choral forces, brass octet and percussion. At the core of all these pieces is the text and Dan Locklair’s setting of it.
