text by Wendy Cope

"for Anna, Sarah, and Kerry"

commissioned in 2010 by juice vocal ensemble

funded by the PRS for Music Foundation, Arts Council England, and the Vale of Glamorgan Festival

"The vocal trio, juice, has asked 10 composers to write short love songs - I'm afraid Faint Praise is more of an end-of-love song, but will hopefully be overpowered by more positive works from my 9 composer colleagues. I would like to thank Wendy for letting me set this and giving some valuable insight to the words, which were inspired by a competition in The Spectator magazine, asking for poems damning a member of the opposite sex with faint praise." -- Roxanna Panufnik (September 13th, 2010)
