MacMillan: Seven Last Words from the Cross (2005) more music like this

performed by James Vivian (organ), Polyphony, Britten Sinfonia, Stephen Layton (conductor)
composed by James MacMillan

Inspired by his Catholic faith, James MacMillan often composes intense works on religious themes. Yet unlike his older contemporaries, Sir John Tavener and Arvo Pärt, whose calm meditations and ecstatic paeans reflect their composers' certitude in Christian redemption, MacMillan frequently considers darker subjects and creates a dramatic tension ...

Britannia (2007) more music like this

performed by Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Donald Runnicles (conductor)
composed by Benjamin Britten, Edward Elgar, James MacMillan, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Peter Maxwell Davies

You might expect that a disc called Britannia with a photograph of the white cliffs of Dover on the cover would start with a Pomp and Circumstance March by Elgar. And so it does on this 2007 Telarc release with Donald Runnicles leading the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. But while the disc starts with a Pomp and Circumstance March, it's not No. 1 but ...

MacMillan: Veni, Veni Emmanuel more music like this

performed by Evelyn Glennie (percussion), James MacMillan (piano), Ruth Crouch (violin), Scottish Chamber Orchestra (chamber ensemble), Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Jukka-Pekka Saraste (conductor)
composed by James MacMillan

Much of James MacMillan's orchestral music is concerned with matters of Christian theology, and his concerto for percussion and orchestra, Veni, Veni, Emmanuel, may be counted among his most religiously inspired pieces. Outwardly, though, it is ambiguous and difficult to distinguish from purely secular music. Since all of MacMillan's motives and ...

James Macmillan: A Scotch Bestiary; Piano Concerto No. 2 (2006) more music like this

performed by Wayne Marshall (organ), Wayne Marshall (piano), BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, James MacMillan (conductor)
composed by James MacMillan

Listeners familiar with Scottish composer James MacMillan through such acclaimed works as The Confession of Isobel Gowdie (1990) or the Seven Last Words from the Cross (1993) may suspect that his music is usually somber and more than a little dour; indeed, his religious and politically themed pieces are quite earnest, and have given some the ...

Advent in Winchester (2006) more music like this

performed by Andrew Lumsden (organ), David Cartridge (treble), Edward Goater (tenor), Jimmy Holliday (bass), Jonathan Brown (cantor), Jonathan Brown (bass), Richard Childress (alto), Richard Holt (alto), Richard Kendall (tenor), Sarah Baldock (organ)
composed by Charles Villiers Stanford, Christmas Traditional, Edward Woodall Naylor, Franz Biebl, Herbert Howells, James MacMillan, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Patrick Gowers, Paul Manz, Plainchant, Thomas Weelkes, William Byrd

Compared to Christmas, Advent, the first season in the Church year, has inspired a relatively small body of music, which, with a few famous exceptions, tends to get overlooked, so it's nice to have a CD entirely devoted to Advent music. Winchester Cathedral Choir, a men and boys ensemble conducted by Andrew Lumsden, with organist Sarah Baldock, ...

composed by James MacMillan

Scottish composer James MacMillan wrote his orchestral piece, The Confession of Isobel Gowdie, early in his career, and while it was one of the works that established his international reputation and remains one of his most recorded pieces, the variety of music he's written and his vastly expanded expressive range make it seem like a relatively ...
