for solo soprano, SATB, and orchestra
Described by Latvian newspaper Diena as 'the most carefully developed orchestral party', Spring Rounds is a significant work that is rich in variety and orchestral colours. Jackson has selected texts by a multiplicity of authors, from the seventeenth-century poet Thomas Carew to contemporary writer Billy Collins, to create a profound and interesting reflection on the titular season.

An orchestral accompaniment is available on hire/rental.
