About

In the late Victorian period, many folk songs were rediscovered in England - their influence on British music of the last century plays a remarkable role: many British composers of the 20th century, including Benjamin Britten, for example, took up the folk song as a medium and rearranged it.

In this recording, the Trinity Boys Choir sings a selection of such newly arranged English folk songs. The special feature here is that the choir performs in this recording as a pure children's choir. The resulting bright, bell-like sound is unique.
