Clive Osgood: English Folksongs

Holding a vital part in our cultural heritage, these English folksongs are rooted in the nation’s maritime history, and also explore the melodies that have been adopted by the church and become timeless favourites as part of the rich repertoire of sacred hymnody.

This collection of arrangements by Clive Osgood continues a centuries-old tradition of music handed down through the generations, each one beautifully reimagined in a fresh and modern realisation. Performed by the critically acclaimed professional choir Polyphony and leading chamber orchestra Britten Sinfonia under the direction of Stephen Layton.
