Phil Minton

Minton is a highly dramatic baritone who tends to specialize in literary texts: he has sung lyrics by William Blake with Mike Westbrook's group, Daniil Kharms and Joseph Brodsky with Simon Nabatov, and extracts from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake with his own ensemble. He even once participated in a Jimi Hendrix tribute project, belting out the lyrics in particular over-the-top fashion. Between 1987 and 1993 Minton toured Europe, North America and Russia with Lindsay Cooper's Oh Moscow ensemble.He is perhaps best known, however, for his completely free-form work, which involves "extended techniques" that can be as unsettling as they can be mesmerising.… more »

It was on a Holy Thursday their innocent faces clean / The children walking two & two in red & blue & green / Grey headed beadles walkd before with wands as white as snow / Till into the high dome of Pauls they like Thames waters flow // O what a multitude they seemd these flowers of London town / Seated in companies they sit with radiance all their own / The hum of multitudes was there but multitudes of lambs / Thousands of little boys & girls raising their innocent hands // Now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven the voice of song / Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of heaven among / Beneath them sit the aged men wise guardians of the poor / Then cherish pity; lest you drive an angel from your door.
