for SATB unaccompanied In this bittersweet pastoral setting
Bednall's flowing melody lines are paired with the tender words of
the contemplative First World War poet, Siegfried Sasson. The 5/4
metre lends a wistful whimsical feel to the music, allowing the
piece to flow freely, whilst retaining the playful syncopation so
familiar in folk music. The poem itself is a rare step outside
Sassoon's typical First World War themes. Rather, Idyll describes a
summer garden where he wishes to meet somebody, who, it seems, has
passed away. A beautifully creative work offering heartache and
warmth in equal measure.
