eccho ring written for the wedding of Clare & John 17th April 1999 in Macclesfield. Performed by Clare's 3 sisters, Katie, Pip and Lis singing with impeccable blend during the signing of the register. In three sections titled Prelude - Song - Amen. The title, eccho ring is taken from Epithalamion by Edmund Spencer. For the moment, e-mail me to request a score of the version with voices. Publication of this version is limited.

This version of eccho ring for organ only. Recorded by Kemp English on Stormin' Norma 2, released 1st December 2005, New Zealand. 

From a review by Barry Brinson in Organ News: "a 20th Century gem which particularly appealed - Eccho Ring by John Wesley Barker - incidentally, the son of the present director of music at the Nelson Cathedral. J.W.B jnr, is domiciled in the UK and active as a composer and performer. Word of warning - make sure the bass boost on your stereo system is in the "off" position."
