Colin Mawby

"Colin Mawby has for many years been composing works which are easy to learn, sound beautiful, are effective and are feasible for smaller, more modest church choirs. One of the main reasons for the lasting success of his music is the way he ranges from liturgical homophony through to majestic polyphony. He expresses in a simple and unpretentious way what church music is all about: lifting one’s heart to the Lord. [...] My conclusion: buy it, learn it and pray it as you sing!" [Barbara Stühlmeyer
in: Musica Sacra 03/2008]

Colin Mawby (b. 1936) is one of Britain and America’s most successful and popular composers of sacred choral music. The compositions of the former director of music at London’s Westminster Cathedral are now also reaching a growing and increasingly appreciative audience on the European continent, not least thanks to Butz-Verlag’s publication of more than 80 of his choral works.

Mawby’s compositions are very much in the tradition of Romantic English choral music. Always tailored precisely to the needs of choirs singing services and concerts, they are characterised by freshness and sonority coupled with harmonic and rhythmic finesse.
