My Song Is Love Unknown is a wonderful sacred work, set for a solo
quartet of singers and SATB choir, and is based on John Ireland's

re-harmonising them to create a powerful, ethereal sound-world that
perfectly reflects the poem's themes of love, sorrow, passion,
death and ecstasy. The Faber Choral Signature Series introduces a
wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search
of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of
contemporary composers and includes both lighter and more
challenging contemporary works, offering a thrilling array of
varied styles.

by Robbie Burns, the great Scottish poet - it is a gentle, lyrical
hymn of praise both to the countryside and to Scotland itself.
