Desires: A Song Of Songs Collections
The wealth of compositions using the sensuous and highly charged texts of the Song of Songs is incrediblyvast and rich. In the course of compiling this recording I re-discovered music that I have known for years, wasintroduced to pieces I didn’t know existed, and was privileged to commission a couple of works to add to thiswonderful legacy of compositional material. Taken as a whole, the collection of pieces gathered here presentsa varied and enlightening journey through the book of Song of Songs, and through the musical language ofdifferent centuries. I hope that both those that are well known and those that are new discoveries willencourage listeners to delve further into this miraculous repertoire.(Suzi Digby OBE)
