Background: The tradition of all-male church choirs is an international one, stretching back many centuries. Within that broad tradition several elements are present in the music of every age; one of these is the use of the solo boy's voice. It is a sound which has enchanted composers throughout the ages.

The most extended romantic work usually associated with a solo boy is Mendelssohn's Hear my prayer, whose lyrical, varied and somewhat dramatic first section is of course followed by the ever-popular O, for the wings of a dove.

The range and depth of expression demanded by such a work calls for a boy of maturity - inevitably a boy nearing the end of his time as a treble. Thus it is that many such recordings capture the final flowering of a voice which has done sterling service for up to six years in the cathedral's choir stalls.

So it is with Nicholas Fletcher, a dedicated Southwell chorister, whose voice just held out for these demanding recording sessions.
