  • Description

    14 short songs by leading British composers - ranging from Harrison Birtwistle to Michael Nyman - drawn from Mary Wiegold's Songbook, an ever-increasing collection of works written for Wiegold and the Composers Ensemble.

    'Like a modern-day codex. Should nothing survive from the previous decade of British music save this, scholars would still be able to form a reliable picture of the diverse compositional activity of those years.' Tempo
