Ireland - 4 Songs for Sop and String Orchestra

[ardcarp]

At the end of yesterdays Afternoon on 3 (and not part of the main concert, which I missed) were these delightful and not often heard songs. All very English-nostalgic......and sung beautifully by Susan Gritton.

Thanks ER. Oh dear, that Christmas stocking......

The Ireland songs were presumably originally with piano accomp. And I see the Gritton family have been busy too.
