for an ensemble of 15 players
Howard Skempton (b.1947)
"For me the most spiritual piece was the one with no avowed spiritual aspirations. It was the series of beautifully contrived miniatures that made up Howard Skempton's Chamber Concerto, played by the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group with clarity and rhythmic alertness. Its ingenious mechanisms, sometimes pert in tone, sometimes musing, had the wonderful quality of being blindingly obvious and mysterious at the same time." - The Daily Telegraph
