About
Following in Signum’s series of composer-led releases with the BBC Singers, this new disc represents the culmination of a collaboration between British composer Bernard Hughes and the choir that began in 2002. Combining modern poetry by E. E. Cummings and Siegfried Sassoon alongside Norse poetry, Hughes combines both ancient and modern elements into his compositions, which are ably performed by the BBC Singers under Paul Brough. Bernard Hughes’s music has been performed at major venues in Britain and abroad and received a number of broadcasts on BBC Radio 3. He was runner-up at the 2009 British Composer Awards for the choral work The Death of Balder (featured on this recording).

Reviews
"... There's plenty that's original and interesting... this is a characterful performance." ***
Elinor Cooper - BBC Music magazine (Brief notes section) - August 2016
"Brave repertoire and spirited singing from the BBC ensemble and soloists... The title piece is one of a pair of choral fanfares. Paul Brough marshals the sound beautifully."
Brian Morton – Choir & Organ magazine – July/August 2016
