“Where Lagan stream sings lullaby” … is where we start our musical journey through five centuries of song – from Elizabethan Lute Songs and Shakespeare settings to sparkling gems by Novello and Coward via the towering genius of Purcell and Schubert, with some favourite Irish Folksongs along the way. A good tune and powerful lyrics are our only prerequisites, and we think this selection includes some of the very best.
