Background: The majority of the selections on the disc from Anonymous 4 are traditional English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and even Cornish songs, but we're also treated to world-premiere recordings of pieces by Peter Maxwell Davies and Geoffrey Burgon. Then there's a luminous, all-female rendition of John Tavener's justly popular The Lamb.

The disc concludes with A New Year Carol, where Benjamin Britten's original arpeggiated piano accompaniment lends itself perfectly to this setting where the unison voices are supported by Lawrence-King's Baroque harp.
