Songs of Farewell

A deeply moving musical journey through the many faces of love, from the joy of connection, through heartbreak and loss, to pleas for healing and peace. Parry's Songs of Farewell trace the human spirit through mortality. Alongside these much-loved choral songs, music by Duruflé, Weir, Britten, Dove, Poulenc, Joanna Marsh and Quartel explores love in all its complexity: intimate, ecstatic, painful and consoling.
