Selected songs spanning 50 years demonstrating Pitfield's distinctive voice, to be cherished for its precision of technique and delicacy of effect. John McCabe writes if Pitfield had written only the first song in the book, Cuckoo and Chestnut Time, he would have earned our gratitude for that perfect little gem alone! Also contains the composer's own illustrations. Thomas Pitfield had the gift for memorable tunes, often couched in somewhat French-sounding harmonic and decorative idiom. He admired Vaughan Williams, Grainger and Delius and their influence can be felt in his works.
