Songs of Farewell

PARRY: Songs of Farewell
KERRY ANDREW: York Mass (UK concert premiere)

Parry’s cycle of six part songs were composed in the last years of the First World War and the composer’s own life, and so have been seen as a swansong for a passing generation. The cycle’s musical expression and sensitivity to textual meaning and inflexion have rarely been exceeded in English music. Rising new composing-talent Kerry Andrew has a close association with The Ebor Singers, and her York Mass was commissioned by the choir for its 15th-anniversary in 2008.
