Catalogue of Compositions
Phillip’s music is strongly influenced by his native Lake District and by history. His main musical influences are found in continuing and reconciling a pastoral British tradition.
What others say…
The Cooke is remarkable…in the background you get a flickering of candles, a halo of light, in the middle is a male choir adoring the Virgin.’
— BBC Radio 3, Record Review
‘Phillip Cooke’s…Ave Maria, mater Dei is enticingly ethereal thanks to a pair of off-stage trebles intensifying its incantatory allure.’
— BBC Music Magazine
‘Cooke is able to compose distinctive settings of familiar liturgical texts with excellent performances and some beautifully sustained pianissimos.’
— The Gramophone
