An hour of unknown but lovely music, from the early maturity of Vaughan Williams, now recorded for the first time.
A WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING!
The mezzo soprano soloist, Heather Lowe in her recording debut, sometimes sings and sometimes recites the words of the choruses, accompanied by female voices (and additional soloists) from Joyful Company of Singers and by Britten Sinfonia conducted by Alan Tongue. Alan Tongue transcribed the music from parts and scores in the British Library, realising some of it from short score.

Recording at St Jude
