Recordings of my music

Poetry & Prayer

My continuing relationship with the Kent chamber choir, Caritas and their conductor Benedict Preece continues with this wonderful release (in June 2026) Poetry & Prayer. The album contains two of my works: God Be in My Head (2025) and Everyone Sang (2024) as well as pieces by Conner McCain and Eoghan Desmond (both former PhD students of mine) amongst others. As always, it is wonderful to have such amazing supporters of my music!

25/08/2006: Nice review from the British Music Society which is very complimentary about the recording: ‘The standard of performance is uniformly high throughout the programme.Tuning, intonation and blend are the equal of many similarly sized fully professional bodies. The diction is beyond reproach.’ And they said some nice things about me: ‘This means that Phillip Cooke’s setting of Siegfried Sassoon’s Everyone Sang is marvellously effective, with its vigorous opening fanfare motif.’
