MacMillan: Veni, Veni Emmanuel

MacMillan: Veni, Veni Emmanuel more music like this

performed by Evelyn Glennie (percussion), James MacMillan (piano), Ruth Crouch (violin), Scottish Chamber Orchestra (chamber ensemble), Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Jukka-Pekka Saraste (conductor)
composed by James MacMillan

Much of James MacMillan's orchestral music is concerned with matters of Christian theology, and his concerto for percussion and orchestra, Veni, Veni, Emmanuel, may be counted among his most religiously inspired pieces. Outwardly, though, it is ambiguous and difficult to distinguish from purely secular music. Since all of MacMillan's motives and ...

Britannia

Britannia (2007) more music like this

performed by Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Donald Runnicles (conductor)
composed by Benjamin Britten, Edward Elgar, James MacMillan, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Peter Maxwell Davies

You might expect that a disc called Britannia with a photograph of the white cliffs of Dover on the cover would start with a Pomp and Circumstance March by Elgar. And so it does on this 2007 Telarc release with Donald Runnicles leading the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. But while the disc starts with a Pomp and Circumstance March, it's not No. 1 but ...

James Macmillan: A Scotch Bestiary; Piano Concerto No. 2

James Macmillan: A Scotch Bestiary; Piano Concerto No. 2 (2006) more music like this

performed by Wayne Marshall (organ), Wayne Marshall (piano), BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, James MacMillan (conductor)
composed by James MacMillan

Listeners familiar with Scottish composer James MacMillan through such acclaimed works as The Confession of Isobel Gowdie (1990) or the Seven Last Words from the Cross (1993) may suspect that his music is usually somber and more than a little dour; indeed, his religious and politically themed pieces are quite earnest, and have given some the ...

MacMillan: Seven Last Words from the Cross [Hybrid SACD]

MacMillan: Seven Last Words from the Cross [Hybrid SACD] (2005) more music like this

composed by James MacMillan

Inspired by his Catholic faith, James MacMillan often composes intense works on religious themes. Yet unlike his older contemporaries, Sir John Tavener and Arvo Pärt, whose calm meditations and ecstatic paeans reflect their composers' certitude in Christian redemption, MacMillan frequently considers darker subjects and creates a dramatic tension ...

An Eternal Harmony

An Eternal Harmony (2002) more music like this

performed by Cecilia Osmond, Mark Dobell, Rebecca Outram, Robert Evans, The Sixteen (choir, chorus)
composed by James MacMillan, Robert Carver, Robert Ramsey, William Cornysh

British mixed vocal ensemble the Sixteen specializes in a cappella sacred music from the Tudor period, but on this CD the group included a new work, "O bone Jesu," which it commissioned from Scottish composer James MacMillan. MacMillan's piece fits well into the program of early sixteenth century English and Scottish choral music; its tone matches ...

Macmillan: Symphony No. 3 'Silence'; The Confession of Isobel Gowdie

Macmillan: Symphony No. 3 'Silence'; The Confession of Isobel Gowdie more music like this

performed by BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, James MacMillan (conductor)
composed by James MacMillan

Religious matters underlie James MacMillan's works on this 2005 Chandos release, and to greater or lesser extents, the composer has created orchestral requiems that may provoke thoughts of human suffering and final things. The Confession of Isabel Gowdie (1990) draws on the 1662 witchcraft trial of a Scottish woman; in MacMillan's account, she ...

composed by Arvo Pärt, Gustav Holst, Igor Stravinsky, James MacMillan, John Tavener, Pavel Chesnokov, Sergey Rachmaninov, Viktor Kalinnikov

Ikon by Harry Christophers and the Sixteen is a marvelous offering of sacred choral gems, the group's second collection on Decca following the successful 2005 release Renaissance: Music for Inner Peace. A perfect disc to introduce this well-established vocal ensemble to newcomers, Ikon consists of 16 works that are evenly matched in their sublime ...
