for solo voice, SATB (with divisions), flute, and piano
John Rutter's timeless arrangement of Skylark, a standard of the golden age of American song, is rich, mellow, and mellifluous. Soaring lines for flute depict the eponymous songbird, and the classic Hoagy Carmichael tune is shared between solo voice and choir, the latter also often providing the cushion of evocative harmonies synonymous with the spiritual.

works on the Collegium Records label.
