Earth's call, 'A sylvan rhapsody'

Available for over a year

Composed in 1918, 'Earth's Call' reflects the colourful timbre of English Impressionism. The jarring melodies could be challenging if it weren't for the soothing mezzo soprano singing about the nature that surrounds her and the distant call of a cuckoo!
