A Wonderful Collection for Singers
These Quilter songs are a treasure chest of music, both for those who knpow his songs, as I thought I did, and for those new to Quilter, an often underrated English composer of the 20th Century. The collection contains old favourites, which I have known for many years in concerts and festivals, such as June, Love's Philosophy and Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal. I have also found beautiful and charming songs previously unknown, particularly those from his Seven Elizabethan Songs Op.12. My only complaint is that the key of June is too high, even for a high soprano like myself, and found elsewhere in F major rather than G - much more comfortable.

Quilter Goldmine
For Roger Quilter fans, this book is a must-have. All of the popular Quilter pieces you've heard in recitals and competitions are there (Love's Philosophy, Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal, etc.), plus many I had never heard before. Wonderful book to add to your 20th century repertoire.
