Song of June

Song of June Synopsis

Song of June is a setting of Wilfred Owen's wonderfully evocative 1914 poem about young love and summer days for unaccompanied SATB voices, with a rehearsal piano part. Harvey's music captures the shimmering trees, warbling waterbrooks and swimmers 'carving through the sparkling cold' depicted in the poem. This powerfully sensual work is certain to make a lasting impression on singers and audiences alike.
