Couldn’t land anywhere after Sun House earlier.
Tried TOOL & Steven Stills before landing with this.
The production on here is really good. I’m obviously in a Detail and Tonal mood today🤔
Grace Williams: Songs - Y Deryn Pur; Lights Out; Cariad Cyntaf
Grace Williams’ lifelong interest in vocal writing no doubt owed something to her upbringing in Wales. The original works heard here in their premiere recordings span the entirety of her career, ranging from her earliest surviving composition in any genre to 1967’s Fear no more the heat o’ the sun. Williams’ folk song arrangements were often commissions for BBC children’s programmes, and while her craftsmanship is evident irrespective of the song’s country of origin, her stylistic fingerprints are most firmly placed on her understated setting of the beautiful Welsh love song, Cariad Cyntaf.
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off this Monday morning with this solo album from Pat with his Baritone Guitar and enjoying the opening track. … and looking forward to the rest of the album!
