Australian composer Malcolm Williamson was the first non-Briton to be appointed Master of the Queen’s Music. His vast output includes almost every genre imaginable, a large proportion of which is choral music. This disc gives an excellent overview of his choral writing, from the deeply spiritual Symphony for Voices to his Requiem for a Tribe Brother, written when Williamson learned of the death of a young Aboriginal friend. The work was premièred by the Joyful Company of Singers, who also performed it with Peter Broadbent at Williamson’s funeral in 2003.
