A Hoy Calendar

Peter Maxwell Davies' 1994 work for unaccompanied SATB choir, using text from George Mackay Brown's 1971 poem A Hoy Calendar.

A girdle round the year in five minutes. In twelve clear, simple images George MackayBrown'spoem turns through the months of Orkney life, and as it turns so the modal music, for a modestly able school or amateur choir, moves it on its way, with images of matching lucidity.
