About
The programme contains highly melodic modal works, including the Sonata for Violin and Organ (op.74) and its forerunner Agnus Dei (op.41). The more contemporary Nocturnus I (op.90 no.1) for flugelhorn and organ is complemented here by the solo organ work which completes the Nocturnus series of compositions, Nocturnus VI (op.90 no.6). Both works were completed while the composer was living in South Africa. Lastly, the six Chorale Preludes (2021-2) for solo organ are here recorded in full for the first time. Written during the depths of the pandemic, these sparse, elevated, works are like icons in music: where time seems to stand still, and the listener is immersed in the intense spiritual dialogue presented in the music.
Simon Passmore is originally from Hexham, Northumberland. He was a chorister at Hexham Abbey where he received piano lessons from the Directors of Music, John Green and Michael Haynes, and later with Newcastle University's Head of Keyboard, David Murray. He completed a BMus at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, studying with Murray McLachlan, and went on to take a Postgraduate Diploma in Repetiteur Studies, supported by a full scholarship. Simon was Director of Music at St Ann's Church between 2015-2022, and had previously been organ scholar there from 2011, studying with the late Ronald Frost.
Simon currently lives in Altrincham and works full-time at Chetham's School of Music as a staff pianist.
