Tony Hewitt-Jones - Choral Works And Complete Organ Mus

Facts Many composers who wrote primarily for the English cathedral tradition have not had the recognition they deserve outside that cloistered world. Tony Hewitt-Jones (1926-89) is one such. Although the choral and organ works heard on this album naturally respond to the requirements of the performers for whom he was writing, they have a freshness, energy and individuality that transcend their origin, their sound-world overlapping with that of some of his close contemporaries, like John Gardner, Kenneth Leighton and William Mathias.
