Congregations might find themselves called to prayer by such pieces as ‘In the shadow of your wings’, a slow, ravishing meditation on Psalm 57, or shaken out of their seats by ‘Up she rises’, Ros’s riotous variations on ‘What shall we do with a drunken sailor?’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer vocal writing, always setting fine texts, was similarly assured and welcomed by choirs looking for tuneful, well-crafted music with the occasional harmonic twist to keep them on their toes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast year Ros contributed a good number of pieces to Songs every choir loves to sing, a collection of traditional songs, the first time she had written anything of a non-sacred nature for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI liked her pieces so much that I asked her to consider writing more for our instrumental list and we had begun planning a book of recorder pieces which will now sadly not come to fruition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRos always greeted each new request with great enthusiasm.

A glance at the contents will tell you that this is an unusual collection: we can't remember such titles in our previous collections! Our composers have entered into the spirit of our request to write pieces in the relaxed style of the spiritual and the blues. The result is a really cool collection which we're sure you will enjoy.
