Matthias: Shakespeare Songs: Under the greenwood tree/Full fathom five/Lawn as white as driven snow/Sigh no more, ladies/Crabbed age and youth/Dirge/It was a lover and his lass/Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Solos by Kate Mapp: Who is Sylvia? (Franz Schubert)/Full fathom five (Robert Johnson)/Who is Sylvia? (Gerald Finzi)
Shearing: Songs and Sonnets from Shakespeare: Live with me and be my love/When daffodils begin to peer/It was a lover and his lass/Spring(when daises pied)/Who is Sylvia?/Fie on sinful fantasy/Hey, ho, the wind and the rain
Solos by Kate Mapp: It was a lover and his lass (Roger Quilter)/Take, O, take those lips away (Madeline Dring)/When daisies pied (Thomas Arne)/The Compleat Works (John Dankworth)
Rutter: Birthday Madrigals: It was a lover and his lass/Draw on, sweet night/Come live with me/My true love hath my heart/When daisies pied
I preferred the Rutter to the Shearing, which was a little too ‘Sing Something Simple’ for my taste.
