Ten songs for children's voices, recorders and Orff ensemble, designed to take children on a journey encompassing four modes, four countries and eight centuries, starting with troubadours of medieval France and culminating with settings of texts by 20th century poets Eleanor Farjeon and Sara Teesdale.
