Beskrivelse
Five Childhood Lyrics is a wonderful suite of settings that features children's poems, play songs and nursery rhymes for unaccompanied mixed voices (with some divisi). It was commissioned and first performed by the London Concord singers, conducted by Malcolm Cottle on 11 April, 1973, in the Purcell Room, London. The familiar lyrics are a real joy while once again Rutter has demonstrated he can create some of the finest choral settings.
