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'.
