Chilcott's Songs and Cries of London Town is a contempoarary impression of the sights and sounds of London in music which is both thrilling and evocaive. the composition sets to musid the words of Orlando Gibbons and settings of poems by Worsworth and Dunbar.
The Spryg of Thyme by John Rutter is a cycle of folk songs from all corners of the British Isles with arrangement so well known tunes such as The Keel row and the Miller of Dee
