'Not Le Carré, not Deighton, not Ludlum have surpassed the intelligence, authenticity or engrossing storytelling that established The Mask of Dimitrios as the best of its kind' The TimesEnglish crime novelist Charles Latimer is travelling in Istanbul when he makes the acquaintance of Turkish police inspector Colonel Haki. It is from him that he first hears of the mysterious Dimitrios - an infamous master criminal, long wanted by the law, whose body has just been fished out of the Bosphorus. Fascinated by the story, Latimer decides to retrace Dimitrios' steps across Europe to gather material for a new book. But, as he gradually discovers more about his subject's shadowy history, fascination tips over into obsession. And, in entering Dimitrios' criminal underworld, Latimer realizes that his own life may be on the line.'A gripping thriller ... still fresh as new' Guardian
for SSATB choir or soloists, unaccompanied In this setting, which includes salient fragments for St Luke's gospel (in Greek), alongside the customary text from the Book of Common Prayer, Finnissy renders this excitement, joy, awe, and trepidation in music.
for SATB and organ This Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis setting was written for the choirs of two churches in Brighton. It was conceived to be performed by amateur choirs, and achieves this level of accessibility whilst still retaining Finnissy's maverick musical style.
for ATB unaccompaniedSkempton's Third Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis setting was written for Wells Cathedral and premiered in May 2012. The simplicity and purity of the setting is typical of Skempton's style, ideal for male choirs of all abilities.
for SATB unaccompanied This beautiful and spacious Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis setting of the Canticle of Mary is pure Jackson. Alternating stripped back, plainchant-style sections with homorhythmic passages for full choir, this music possesses an understated emotional intensity. The glorious key changes at the end of both the Magnificat and the Nunc Dimittis are spine-tingling. Appropriate for both Evensong and concert performance, this piece is well within the reach of most choirs.
