With plenty of excitement and anticipation, this exuberant carol sets a medieval macronic text, featuring changing metres and a driving piano part. Also available in a version for solo low voice.

A setting of specially-written texts by children, the subject matter is the sun, the moon, and the stars. The songs are linked by spoken narration, resulting in a rich and vivid tapestry. Orchestral m...

Chilcott's rare gift for crafting the most poignant and beguiling melodies is rarely more apparent than in his setting of this enchanting medieval poem. Also available in versions for solo high voice...

Taken at a slow processional tempo this work has a predominantly canonic texture. The syncopated passages are at once sombre and sensual, and the balancing homphonic phrases achieve real power. A shor...

This is one of Clarke's many pieces on love, and one of the best. It combines the English modality of earlier times with foretastes of the adventurous chromaticism of her later work. It is a lovely pi...
