About

Gary Higginson has spent a life writing music for a wide range of formations, ages and abilities. Much of his work explores two great loves: nature and English literature, especially Shakespeare. Accordingly, this disc presents a sequence of songs, instrumental works and a sustantial cantata. Music that is always communicative, characterful and accessible.
