Spring (When daisies pied) 2' 00" SSS, SSA or Tr Tr Tr with piano
Listen to an excerpt from the 'Pigs Could Fly' disc
Programme Notes
Spring is the title of Shakespeare's poem, 'When daisies pied and violets blue' from Love's Labours Lost, Act V. Sc. ii. Dating from 1995, this setting combines vitality with charm and, as with many other pieces for amateurs or young singers, deploys the Corp-ian trademark of canonic singing – the voices imitate each other's lines a few beats later. This makes for interesting and complex-sounding textures which are relatively easy to achieve.
A counterpart setting also from Love's Labour's Lost, Act V. Sc. ii depicting 'winter' comes in the form of When Icicles Hang by the Wall found in the Boosey and Hawkes anthology, Kaleidoscope.
