For SATB unaccompanied The wonderful choral music of Howard Skempton has a unique voice that is instantly recognizable. Four by the Clock, which sets words by Longfellow, is a rich and brooding piece that although quiet and slow throughout, fizzes with a barely contained energy and excitement for the 'dawn that is to be'.
