St Martin's Voices
Stephen Farr (organ)
Andrew Earis (conductor)

This compelling debut album from composer Lucy Walker showcases one of the UK’s most exciting emerging voices in choral composition. Written during her residency with St Martin’s Voices, the works trace a journey of artistic growth and spiritual depth, from the hopeful intimacy of Today to the shimmering expansiveness of I saw eternity.

Walker’s music is deeply rooted in the choral tradition, yet distinctly contemporary — her harmonic language radiant and text-driven, her textures luminous and finely woven. Under the sensitive direction of Andrew Earis, St Martin’s Voices bring remarkable nuance and warmth to these performances, revealing the emotional resonance and craftsmanship in each piece.

Whether drawing on plainsong, part-song or contrapuntal dance, Walker’s voice is unmistakably her own — lyrical, thoughtful, and full of light. This album is both a celebration of collaboration and a moving portrait of a composer whose music speaks with clarity, heart and vision.
