With its settings of poems by William Blake, Emily Dickinson, George Peele, Thomas Nash, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Jonathan Dove's 'The Passing of the Year' has become a contemporary choral classic - tracing life's course through the passing of the seasons. The joyfully exuberent 'Ring Out, Wild Bells' that concludes the cycle makes for a trenemdously effective standalone piece in its own right. This edition is the vocal score of that movement.
