Music by Gavin Bryars

Epilogue from Wonderlawn (1994) [7.49]
Eight Irish Madrigals (2004) [26.62]
The Church Closest to the Sea (2007) [15.18]

This, our first release on Delphian Records, is a recording of a piece which we commissioned from Gavin Bryars in 2007, "The Church Closest to the Sea", alongside two other recent works. "Eight Irish Madrigals" is a setting of poems by Petrarch in a translation by John Synge. "Epilogue from Wonderlawn" is the final episode from music which Bryars wrote for a dance piece in 1994.

Listen to soundbites from the album:

Epilogue from Wonderlawn
Eight Irish Madrigals - He wishes he might die and follow Laura
