Songi/Abate/Green - James Cook: David's Liebestod

James Cook was born in Wales in 1963. He composed three major symphonies in his twenties and after a brief spell studying composition at Oxford in 1994 turned to the writing of sacred vocal and choral music, much of which has been recorded for Divine Art/Diversions. In 2000 he began to concentrate on organ music and competed a cycle of nine organ symphonies. Looking to expand his horizons further he turned to opera in 2010; his first, �Dorothy�, was premiered in London in 2015. Since then he has produced several more including a cycle of four on Biblical themes.
