Radiant Dawn
With Matilda Lloyd (Trumpeter)
Works from the Golden Age of polyphony by Tallis and White are juxtaposed with modern compositions by Roxanna Panufnik, Alec Roth and Deborah Pritchard. Highlights include Sir James MacMillan’s ‘O radiant dawn’, an evocative setting from the composer’s Strathclyde Motets, alongside Richard Barnard’s ‘Aura’, co-commissioned by the artists.
“I can vouch for the timbral magic created by the combination: Lloyd’s trumpet moves from being a luminous beacon to melding with the voices like syrup.” – Gramophone
