Patrick Hawes

Patrick Hawes is a British classical composer known for his lush, emotive works that bridge sacred traditions with contemporary accessibility. With a knack for crafting melodies that feel both timeless and fresh, his catalog includes everything from serene devotional pieces like *Hymn* to grand orchestral statements like *The Great War Symphony*, which pays tribute to World War I’s centenary. His music often weaves choral and orchestral textures, showcased in standouts like *Quanta Qualia*—a haunting soprano-and-strings piece popularized by crossover ensembles—and the dramatic narrative of *St. George & The Dragon*.

A champion of melodic clarity, Hawes’ works like *Revelation* and *The Beatitudes* blend spiritual themes with cinematic sweep, making his music a staple in both concert halls and worship settings. Albums like *Classical Power* and *The Fire of Love & Songs of Innocence* highlight his versatility, while projects like *The Nativity* and *In Blossom* reveal a composer deeply attuned to storytelling and nature. Whether through symphonies or intimate hymns, Hawes has carved a niche where classical craftsmanship meets heartfelt resonance.
