Recenzii

His tonal language is, fairly consistently in his many popular works, a singular admixture of rhythmic freedom, atmospheric textures, and a diatonic landscape devoid of either strong functional tonality or pandiatonic haze. His tonal centers are usually very clear, yet the music avoids recognizable tonal gestures . . . The inherently musical phrases of the poetry, such a hallmark of the output of Hopkins, elicit elegant responses from Jackson, making text and setting an intimate pairing. Even without chromaticism or heavily dissonant harmonies, the music provides challenges for singers. Yet for fans of Jackson's music, this anthem is one of his finer offerings.

Notă biografică

One of Britain's foremost composers, after three years as a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral, Gabriel Jackson went on to study composition with Richard Blackford and John Lambert at the Royal College of Music. Particularly acclaimed for his choral works, his liturgical pieces are in the repertoires of most of Britain's cathedral and collegiate choirs and he is a frequent collaborator with the leading professional groups of the world. From 2010-2013 he was Associate Composer to the BBC Singers. In 2014 his hour-long The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, commissioned for the 750th anniversary of Merton College, Oxford, was premiered in its chapel. May 2015 saw the premiere at the Latvian National Opera of Spring Rounds for soprano, choir and orchestra, commissioned by the Riga-based youth choir Kamer for their 25th anniversary. He was recently commissioned by The Marian Consort to write Stabat Mater to mark their 10th anniversary.
