“I was thrilled to accompany the chorus of English National Opera in a filmed recording of Chorale, the final movement from my Songs Of Renewal commissioned by Benjamin Goodson and the Bath Camerata a few years ago. The ‘Song For Nature’ concert brings together some stellar performers and composers including Queen guitarist Brian May and Wellerman singer Nathan Evans as well as Rachel Portman’s fabulous Earth Song and a host of other musical treats, interspersed with readings to coincide with Earth Day, 22nd April 2021. It’s the brainchild of Janie Dee and the London Climate Change Festival and I was so happy that they felt the words and feel of Chorale were appropriate for this important broadcast which highlights the climate crisis.”
Renew me in the sunlight.
Renew me in the blossom tree.
Renew me in the rainfall.
Renew me in the child born.
Transform me. Let me bring light.
