Lead, Kindly Light (Pre-Order)

Pre-order the most exciting Lux release to date! Recorded in collaboration with one of the world's most performed composers, Paul Mealor, this album features some of his most beloved works amongst nine unrecorded pieces, including four world premieres. Described as ‘the most important composer to have emerged in Welsh choral music since William Mathias’ (New York Times) and his music is ‘marked by something outside of himself that is beautifully spatial and evocative of landscape… it illuminates both our past and our future’ (The Guardian).
These pieces, new and old, are marked with a deep emotional significance and warmth with which Mealor's listeners have become familiar; especially so with the title track, written in memory of a dear friend of the composer.
