David Jones (piano)About
Judith Bingham’s music for chorus and organ has been released on CD but this is the first recording of her piano music. Born in Nottingham in 1952, she has been London-based since 1970 and used to live near Westminster Cathedral, the inspiration for the opening work on the CD, The Moon over Westminster Cathedral. She spent several years as a member of the BBC Singers, which may help explain the lyricism of her music.
The works on this CD also reveal her strong response to poetry and to place: Limehouse Nocturne was inspired by the Hawksmoor church, St Anne’s, Limehouse, and portrays the gentle movement of the Thames at night. Byron, Violent Progress is a set of variations portraying the poet’s struggle with his own conscience.
Most of the music on this disc is receiving its first recording.
David Jones is a graduate of the University of Wales, Bangor, and the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester; he has a PhD from the University of Manchester. His discography includes three discs of piano, chamber, vocal and ensemble works by Jeffrey Lewis. He joined the staff of the School of Keyboard Studies at the RNCM in 1996. David combines a busy performing career in both vocal and instrumental duo work with choral activity: he is pianist for the Hallé Choir and founder and Musical Director of Altèri, the Manchester-based chamber choir, as well as chorus-master of the RNCM Chamber Choir. He also held the post of pianist for Huddersfield Choral Society between 1993 and 2001. For many years he has been a tutor on the summer course ‘Art of Song’.
