Geoff
rey Bush's
Summer
Serenade is
a refreshingly enjoyable
work, written on the wing
of inspiration,
essentially sunny and
life-enhancing. The
eclectic style is readily
diatonic, the harmonies
never make one shudder
and the rich melodic flow
is appealingly direct.
The settings of an
ingenious selection of
verse are in the best
traditions of British
choral writing.
Performance time approx.
20 minutes.

Nocturne an
