Secure in his reputation as a mainstay of Anglican church music, Charles Wood reveals a deeper, more versatile talent in his secular songs. Drawing on rich literary influences – from Christina Rossetti to Walt Whitman – as well as a profound interest in the Irish cultural revival, and balancing delicate lyricism with rich harmonic textures, Wood conjures an intricate landscape of emotional and intellectual depth.
