Kyrial: Gregorian Chant to Anglican  
Podcast: The Pursuit of Beauty with Matthew Wilkinson
Published On: Mon Feb 24 2025
Description: from my discussion with Andrew Dittman about creating his Kyrial and churchmusic in general. . In his setting Gregorian chants in English with four part harmony to be sung a capella and writing motets for Anglican church services he has developed his own personal compositional style that is both atavistic and progressive. Through his Kyrial he seeks to preserve well known plainsong chant masses, while he also composes anthems in the style of Parry, Stanford, Howells, Willan, etc.
