‘It is always a pleasure to perform Hilary’s choral music; beautifully crafted, it evokes a sense of sacred space through its subtle harmonic and rhythmic palette. Her music is enjoyed by performers and listeners alike, and is set to become a staple of choral repertoire’. Edward Jones, D o M at Harvard University Memorial choir
Hilary’s choral music has been performed in the US, Spain, Poland, Lithuania, France, Sweden, Germany and Holland, as well as around the UK, and by professional and amateur ensembles alike, including: BBC Singers; BBC Symphony Chorus (workshop); Polish National Chamber Choir; The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge; Royal Academy of Music Chamber Choir; Harvard Memorial Choir; Wells Cathedral Choir; National Youth Choir (workshop); Choral Scholars of St Martin in the Fields; Trinity College of Music Chamber Choir; Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir. Recent performances include Neresheim Abbey, St Johns, Smith Square, Royal Palace in Madrid, St Martin in the Fields, York Minster, Leeds Cathedral, Old Royal Naval College, Trinity College Cambridge, Wells Cathedral.
In addition to his work as a composer, Robert Ramskill is also much in demand as an arranger, most notably perhaps, in his work as one the regular arrangers for BBC Television ‘Songs of Praise’ programme (with, at a rough estimate, a total of 250 arrangements to his credit to date). These arrangements have included several written for large choral/orchestral forces assembled in the Albert Hall for such programmes as the ‘Songs of Praise 40th Anniversary’ and ‘The Big Sing’. Solo singers for whom he has written orchestral or band arrangements include Lesley Garrett, Katherine Jenkins, Aled Jones, Darius Danesh and Jonathan Ansell.
