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 60 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.

The composer about his works in Musikverlag Dr. J. Butz:

"I am extremely happy and proud that my music is included in the superb and comprehensive catalogue of Dr. J. Butz Musikverlag. The German and English styles of choral music are both wonderful but they are very different and I feel most humble that I am able to introduce my music to German choirs whose excellence and culture is admired throughout the world. Both traditions complement each other and I am most grateful that German musicians show so much interest in my work. In a time of great change it is important that we share and enjoy our diverse corpus of liturgical and religious music." [Colin Mawby]
