LUCY WALKER

Composer - Pianist - Educator

New Release!

Walker’s music is deeply rooted in the choral tradition, yet distinctly contemporary — her harmonic language radiant and text-driven, her textures luminous and finely woven. Under the sensitive direction of Andrew Earis, St Martin’s Voices bring remarkable nuance and warmth to these performances, revealing the emotional resonance and craftsmanship in each piece.

Whether drawing on plainsong, part-song or contrapuntal dance, Walker’s voice is unmistakably her own — lyrical, thoughtful, and full of light. This album is both a celebration of collaboration and a moving portrait of a composer whose music speaks with clarity, heart and vision.
