Description:

Howells' father was a chapel organist, and he sang in choirs from an early age. He was baptized in German music soon after he began composing, and although he was eventually attracted to French impressionist music, he eventually returned to English music and composed numerous religious works. Today, he is considered a composer of religious music. Howells' music reminds many people of the "English landscape. His works, composed with long melody lines and rich harmonies, have a solemn and nostalgic atmosphere as if they were played in a cathedral in 20th century England, bringing a nostalgic feeling to people's hearts.
