Sacred Choral Music
Philip Stopford is admired in Britain and America for his beautifully crafted music, rooted in the Anglican tradition. His works are memorable and colourful, as these world premiere recordings demonstrate. The biggest piece on this album is the Missa Deus nobiscum, a sacred concert work with a scintillating role for soprano soloist that displays Stopford’s compositional skill, creating a journey rather than a sequence of set piece movements. Elsewhere, in pieces for a variety of locations and occasions, his music is evocative, filmic and vividly celebratory.
Recorded October 2022, released January 2024.

In My Father’s House
Recorded in February 2017 and the culmination of many hours of meticulous orchestration work In My Father’s House is a CD of many firsts, although it is the second CD from the wonderful Truro Cathedral Choir, following the huge success of CD Do Not Be Afraid. Once again, Philip has teamed up with Truro Cathedral Choir - this time combining the 39 Boy and Girl Choristers (a first for Truro) AND the BBC National Orchestra of Wales (possibly the first recording of a Cathedral Choir and BBC orchestra).
