World Premiere Recordings.

Best known as a composer of exquisitely quirky miniatures for accordion or piano solo, Howard Skempton has in recent years developed an equally strong affinity for the choral medium. The Exon Singers' programme on this brand new disc includes a new Missa brevis composed especially for the recording, alongside songs and shorter choral pieces constituting a broad survey of Skempton's output over the past twenty-five years.
