Description

This is Volume IV of the 'Orkney Songbook' by the English composer Clive Strutt (b. 1942) and  comprises five traditional Orkney folksongs in arrangements for SATB choir. The subjects covered by the songs include the ‘dark and lofty isle’ of  Hoy, a sea-voyage, the loneliness of an 'auld maid', the Selkie (seal-man) of Sule Skerry, and the fifth song, about the famous Ring of Brodgar (a prehistoric stone circle). The latter is  presented in two different arrangements, one for SATB choir, and one for a  SAT three-part choir. This volume was completed in 2009.
