Notes
Lyrita presents volume two of Michael Hurd's Choral Music together with his complete solo songs for voice and piano. Hurd’s love of literature and the human voice illuminated a natural talent for wordsetting. Hence his catalogue is dominated by choral and vocal works, including operas, ‘pop’ cantatas, songs and anthems. He was especially noted for his many scores for children and amateurs, and his care to ensure that the material he wrote was within the reach of non-professional singers and accompanists accords with his conviction that composers should adopt a practical approach to their craft.

Reviews
“… Hurd’s songs receive splendid advocacy here from Marcus Farnsworth and Benjamin Hulett while Simon Lepper really brings the piano parts to life. Lyrita’s documentation is up to their usual excellent standard. All the sung texts are provided – and clearly laid out – while Paul Conway’s notes are first rate. All the recordings have come out extremely well. This is a most enjoyable and rewarding set.”
John Quinn – MusicWeb-International.com – June 2018
“… David Temple secures splendidly alert results from his Hertfordshire Chorus and London Orchestra da Camera… a most rewarding release.”
