Customer Reviews of A Festival Song: The Music of Craig Phillips
A Triumph! Craig is one of the most gifted, accomplished, and prolific composers in the United States. From the festive opening Song of Zechariah (Benedictus Dominus Deus) to the brilliant closing A Festival Song (text of Walt Whitman, with full orchestra, commissioned by CoroAllegro, Jack Warren Burnam, Music Director), this disc is a stunning treasury of Craig's work. His setting of Psalm 34 is melodic and compelling. A George Herbert text is heard to delightfully gentle music. Carl Daw's inspired text The House of Faith Has Many Rooms receives a sensitive choral treatment. The Revelation verses for the triumphant And I saw the Holy City were set on commission (appropriately) for All Sants' Church; this splended work, now published by Oxford University Press, would be a great addition to an All Saints' Day Sunday service. The Evening Prayer mission collect Keep Watch, Dear Lord would grace a Choral Evensong. The signature Palm Sunday text Ride On in Majesty makes an excellent and largely lyrical anthem, a contrast to any of the competing hymn tunes.
Four wonderful instrumental works provide contrast: a rich Serenade for Horn and Organ, a Pastorale for Bassoon and Organ, a jubilant Fanfare for Organ, and A Song without Words for Cello and Organ (this last written in memory of Craig's brother Brooks). Three of these are (or were at the time of release) unpublished, bu I hope that these eminently usable works will find their way into the repertory. Soloists Paul Klintworth, William Wood, and John Walz (respectively) are all excellent. Craig's musical language is always accessible and appealing, as well as lovingly crafted.
Tom's choral forces rise fully to the challenges of the music, with subtelty as well as brilliance, and always projecting rich tone, fine diction, and genuine musical understanding. The liner includes Byron Adams' extended essay on Craig, full texts, credits (including information about publishers), and candid photos. Joe Bellamy's engineering capturs the sound of the choirs, the Casavant/Rosales/Schlilcker organ, and the acoustic of the church.
