Daniel Knaggs

composer

Welcome


“Good news: born in 1983, composer Daniel Knaggs is a rising star in the sky of serious, young American composers…”

–Chorzeit (Germany)

“This is assured stuff from a composer who is clearly ‘one to watch’… “

–Organists’ Review (UK)

… Deeply thoughtful and moving… Knaggs embraces many historical influences, powerfully and unapologetically evident in an instantly relatable work which offers, nonetheless, deeper insights with repeated listening… A classic for our time, perhaps?
