About
‘Inspirations and imaginings, evolving, changing English usage, landscapes, friendships and passings lie behind this album… Loosely, the songs we’ve selected embrace multiple interpre- tations and nuances of “divine”. As well as, I could argue, that sentiment of English song and English speaking composers embodying the [Blake/Parry] “Jerusalem-Builded-Here” trope. The world I came from (singing in choir stalls), along with how countertenors are perceived generally, has been hard to escape. So here perhaps I’m taking on the challenge. As well as an opportunity to include songs written for me that for some while I’ve been needing to put down on disc.’ – Iestyn Davies
