Jonathan Harvey will remain for some time one of the most fondly-remembered contemporary British composers: it is fitting that this memorial, commissioned for the 2013 London Festival of Contemporary Church Music, should come from Ed Hughes (b. 1968) who was Harvey's amanuensis for his final choral composition Plainsongs for Peace and Light (2012). Hughes quotes from this piece, and from The Angels (1995), something to which you might like to draw your listeners' attention in performance. The work is complex without being cluttered, full of busy figuration and contrasts in colour- an excellent tribute. Huw Morgan
