English song in the first half of the twentieth century was largely defined by the wonderful output of Roger Quilter and Gerlad Finzi, both of whom delighted in setting fine poetry by Wordsworth, Shakespeare and others. Love's Philosophy - a set of three love songs which includes 'She Walks in Beauty', 'Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal' and 'Love's Philosophy' - was inspired by these two composers, with a choice of quintessentially English texts that are particularly musically evocative and colorful.

If you are looking for straightforward and rewarding repertoire for your beginner choir, then you need look no further than Choral Basics the perfect series for singers of all ages.

The Simple 3-part choral arrangements for soprano, alto and a combined part for men's voices make the series perfect for choirs with a dearth of males or whose male singers have unstable or changing voices. The rich array of repertoire is bound to be a hit with younger singers and the technical abilities of choirs at this level have been taken into consideration. Straightforward and idiomatic piano accompaniments have been included and are designed to support the vocal lines, without putting pressure on staff with less developed keyboard skills. Choral Basics are great value for money providing a contrasted set of arrangements for the end of term concert.
