The works on this album tell stories of life and love, of tranquillity and stillness, some naïve and simple, others infused with complex imagery. Many will know, or half-know, Londonderry Air and the Eriskay Love Lilt. The longest among them amounts to little more than a couple of dozen lines; the shortest speaks volumes within the space of seven. This beautiful album features a stunning selection of music spanning over 500 years. From exuberant early works such as Hoyda, hoyda, jolly rutterkin and I am a jolly foster to Will Todd’s sublime Whisper Him my name, Maxwell Davies’ Lullabye for Lucy, Stanford’s glorious The Blue Bird, and a new commission from Roderick Williams, this is truly music to escape to.
