Sunday, March 7 Music:
Herbert Howells (1892-1983) remains one of
the most individual and remarkable composers of 20th-century
English and Anglican music. His music is marked by a unique and
modal harmonic language, brilliant text-painting, a strong
element of drama, an orchestral sense of registration and a
clear affinity towards the choirs, organs and setting for which
his various works are composed. Psalm Prelude No. 1 is
the first of six such settings for organ. This dark work, full
of brooding harmonies, builds to a full organ expression of
triumph over despair, ending in quiet meditation. Malcolm
