Vaughan Williams was a leading member of the first English Folksong Revival in the early years of the 20th century, and his ‘Five English Folk Songs’ provides the launchpad for a concert of folksong arrangements and contemporary settings of poetry old and new. ‘Cecilia Speaks’ (2015) is a trilogy by Ian Stephens based on words by award-winning poet Isabel Rogers, while Owen Leech, Alec Roth, Mark Fleming and Alexander Campkin have each set classic literature to music. And we return to the world of folk music in lush close harmony arrangements made for the Swingle Singers and Voces8.
