		Possibly Leighton's strongest card, however, is that all this emotional content is so finely balanced with the acuteness of his intellect and his ability as a pianist.

		He recorded his piano music for the British Music Society and conducted many performances and broadcast of his own music.

		Then, in the fourth movement, Leighton creates a gentle and moving setting of the well-known Passiontide hymn, "Drop, drop slow tears," bringing the cantata to a magical and wholly effective close.
		Kenneth Leighton was a distinguished English composer but because his works were rarely performed in the concert hall and on Radio 3, he was known only to relatively few people.

	Crucifixus Pro Nobis, Kenneth Leighton
		Kenneth Leighton, who was born and bred in Yorkshire and held the Reid Chair of Music at Edinburgh University, was active as a composer of church music for much of his career: he has contributed several liturgical pieces, as well as more extended cantatas, such as this one, on religious themes.
		So Leighton has explored many paths: in his Nine Variations for Piano, he adopts serial methods; while in his Quartet in One Movement he incorporates a degree of performer choice into the piece.
		This highly charged work takes the form of a brief Passion which shows Leighton's most personal and idiomatic style and refelcts his own strong connection with the Anglican choral tradition over many years.
