Nicholas Wilton (born 1959) is a modern classical composer. He was born in Britain of an English father and a German mother. His first introduction to music was the Mozart and Schubert Lieder which his mother sang to her children. His original compositions were written for the piano, but more recently he has specialised in sacred choral music. Wilton, a Catholic, says he is inspired by the Catholic masters of the sixteenth century. His first CD was entitled simply Sacred Choral Music and contains a number of classical liturgical pieces. It is sung by the Magnificat choir and directed by Philip Cave.
Wilton is also a pro-life activist - in the 1997 General Election, he contested the Orpington constituency as a candidate for the Prolife Alliance and received 191 votes - around 0.3% of the total votes cast.
