The 35th anniversary release of NMC, a British contemporary music label founded by composer Colin Matthews in 1989, is a collection of orchestral works by Imogen Holst, a composer who played a pivotal role in the label's founding! An English musicologist, conductor, composer, and keyboardist whose father was Gustav Holst, Imogen Holst studied composition at the Royal College of Music under Vaughan Williams and Gordon Jacob. She is known for arranging and conducting works by her father, Gustave, and as a musicologist, she has written a biography of her father and books on medieval music, English folk music, Renaissance music, and Baroque music. She left many works, numbering over 200 throughout her life, unperformed, as if they were simply set aside while she was busy promoting her father's music in her many educational roles and her father's music.This album is an excellent opportunity to rediscover Imogen's great legacy, from the orchestral overture \"Persephone,\" composed in 1929 and premiered under the baton of Malcolm Sargent, which combines originality, inspired flamboyance, and reflective music, to the \"Festival Anthem,\" an arrangement of Psalm 104 arranged for mixed chorus and organ in 1946, and orchestrated by Colin Matthews. This is an excellent opportunity to rediscover Imogen's great legacy.
