about

'Thy Delightful Shade', features ten songs inspired by British poetry. I've started this project in 2009, and it took quite a while to finish it. Four singles were released in 2013-2014, but at the time there were no plans to release an album. However, after releasing 'Sonnets by Susan Evance', I wanted to continue on the path of setting poetry to music. Finishing 'Thy Delightful Shade' seemed a logical step forward.

The four original singles are included on the album: expanded, remixed and remastered. Five other tracks, which I have been developing since 2009, were added, including the single 'Ode To Pity'. And, I couldn't resist setting another poem by Susan Evance to music: 'The Redbreast'.

The album features many beautiful sounds: the counter tenor at the end of 'Ode To Pity', the redbreast from our garden on (of course) 'The Redbreast' (also featuring ethereal woman's voices). Apart from that, several arrangements are rather orchestral.

This special Bandcamp edition also includes the four video mixes for the singles.

I hope you'll enjoy this album!

One of my favourite artists. He also contributed a poetry reading to two songs on my album 'Autumn Airs'. Why? Because he's a very nice guy! nion
