Phillip’s music is strongly influenced by his native Lake District and by history. His main musical influences are found in continuing and reconciling a pastoral British tradition.
Three Partsongs [Second Set] (2018-24)
The second set of Three Partsongs, continues my interest in the music and fashions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that I have explored in many works over the past two decades, the most similar being the first set of partsongs from 2008-12. Like their predecessors, the second set of Three Partsongs are simple settings for SATB unaccompanied choir, taking their influence from the Romantic idea of the partsong as a simple, homophonic, melody dominated piece often taking its inspiration from nature and other Romantic notions.
