Nicholas Wilton, Catholic Composer

+
For a number of years now  we have broadcast the choral compositions of Nicholas Wilton on RADIO WALSINGHAM, and each time one of his pieces comes up in the rotation I find my heart leaps with joy because the music is so beautiful, fresh, and rooted in tradition though recently composed. Wilton also has a profound devotion to the Blessed Mother that shines through his music.

The video below gives you a taste of his compositions married to glorious images by Fra Angelico. Recordings of these Wilton compositions may be found online for download at tutti.co.uk.
