Composing soulful and expressive choral music has been the trademark of Alwin Michael Schronen for many years. A hauntingly beautiful testimony to that is his arrangement of Sally Gardens for upper voices (SSAA) and piano. This traditional Irish folk song is based on one of the first love poems by William Butler Yeats. Its melody is characterized by simplicity and catchiness which are maintained by Schronen in a clean and natural manner in an easy-to-play choral setting for four female or childrens voices singing in unison over long passages and are only seldom divided into four voices. The warm sounds of the easily playable piano accompaniment emphasize the melancholy and touching air of this wonderful Irish folk tune. A catchy tune - guaranteed!

A Choral Suite for Two Part (Soprano and Alto) Children's Chorus setting the text of George Mackay Brown. This enchanting 12-minute cycle is typical of the subtle and delicate way Maxwell-Davies approaches writing for children: straightforward, tender, affectionate, yet with just a hint of the complexity found in challenging 'adult' works like the cycle Westerlings. George Mackay Brown's poetry with its haiku-like short stanzas and pointilliste allusive imagery leaves you constantly intrigued : who is the boy 'lost on the hill till sundown', and why is time 'a bird with white wings?' Is this perhaps the poet himself playing a bit of holiday truant?
