WilliamWaltonChoralSampler Sir WilliamWalton was born in Oldham, Lancashire in 1902, the son of a choirmaster and a singing-teacher. He became a chorister at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, and then an undergraduate at the University. His first composition to attract attention was a piano quartet written at the age of sixteen. At Oxford he made the acquaintance of the Sitwells who gave him friendship, moral and financial support and in 1922 he collaborated with Edith in devising the entertainment Belshazzar's Feast. From 1922 to 1927 Walton began to spend an increasing amount of time abroad, notably in Switzerland and Italy. The war years were devoted mainly to writing film and ballet scores and he became established as amongst the greatest composers for the screen. contents forces page Sacred and liturgical Jubilate Deo SSAATTBB & organ More info 3 Litany, A SATB unaccompanied More info 15 Litany, A (version 1) 4 upper voices unaccompanied More info 22 Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis SATB & organ More info 29 Missa Brevis SSAATTBB unaccompanied (organ in Gloria only) More info 44 Set me as a seal upon thine heart SATB unaccompanied More info 68 Christmas All this time SATB unaccompanied More info 74 Make we joy now in this fest SATB unaccompanied More info 78 What cheer?
