If ordering more than 10 copies, please call us on 44. 1284 725725 to check availability. For unaccompanied SATB chorus, to words by George Mackay Brown. Composer Note. In setting George Mackay Brown’s acrostic lines for the birth of Lucy Randall. the first child borne in Rackwick, Hoy, for 32 years. I set myself the uncharacteristic problem of banishing all ‘black’ notes – that is, the work used only the ‘white’ notes on the piano – a symbolic ‘conceit’ I had not tried before. The music has the gentle rocking rhythm suitable for its purpose, and I enjoyed writing the tune so much I repeated all of the text in order to hear it twice. -Peter Maxwell Davies.
