This is a fine arrangement, by the composer, of his well-known work for voice and string orchestra, setting seven Chinese poems from 1121 BC–650 BC. This version offers the piece to a wider range of performance and is a superb addition to our Carey Blyton collection and to English Song generally. The original version of the work, with string orchestra accompaniment, has been recorded by Ian Partridge with the Britten Sinfonia and is available on CD from Fand Music Press.
