Settings of four moving poems by Ivor Gurney - Song, Requiem, To His Love and Song and Pain. The poems were written in the light of the First World War. Robert Hugill's songs address issues of love, friendship and loss to form a trajectory from loss to acceptance.
In 2007, To His Love came 2nd in the English Poetry and Song Society's Ivor Gurney Competition and Requiem came 4th.
"Requiem
Pour out your light, O stars, and do not hold
Your loveliest shining from earth's outworn shell
Pure and cold your radiance, pure and cold
My dead friend's face as well"
“Your comments about Kapustin are entirely accurate! I'm certain to be ordering much of it in the near future.” Ben, Lincoln, USA
“Thank you for the information and support. The order arrived today without any problems.” Denis, Sao Paolo, Brazil
