This exciting collection contains five jazzy settings of poems from William Blake's Songs of Innocence. Capturing moods that range from the reflective to the affirmatory and encompassing a range of jazz styles from laid-back swing to smoky blues, these delightful songs are suitable for performance as a suite or as stand-alone pieces. The compelling contrast between modern musical styles and classic texts encourages performers and listeners alike to view these well-known poems in a fresh light. A combined bass and drum kit part with notated chord symbols is available separately.
