Ben Parry has garnered a reputation as a musician of extraordinary versatility. His communicative skill, across multiple genres and ensembles, imbues his work with a freshness and relevance to a wide range of audiences. Included on this disc are sacred and secular compositions which hint at Parry's various influences and inspirations. Notable in this respect, is Parry's long-term collaboration with author and lyricist, Garth Bardsley. Crafted from a rich harmonic palette and a clever rhythmic box of tricks, Parry's music is instinctively lyrical; musically perspicacious, it never loses the performer and listener from its heart.

Tracks:

Sun Soul Waking from sleep so long
Early one morning
First Day In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram, with Liam Condon (organ)
My heart's in the highlands
Music 'An ode' Was it light that spake from the darkness
Spring Sonnets:
The ground lies hard beneath the frozen sleet
This morning, Spring appeared and though well known
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon
Snow Soft comes the morning
New Year Carol Here we bring new water from the well so clear
My spirit sang all day
O nata lux de lumine
