About
What could be more welcome than a little repose and respite from the demands of daily life? The works on this album tell stories of life and love, of tranquillity and stillness, some naïve and simple, others infused with complex imagery. This beautiful album features a stunning selection of music spanning over 500 years. From exuberant early works such as Hoyda, hoyda, jolly rutterkin and I am a jolly foster to Will Todd's sublime Whisper Him my name, Maxwell Davies' Lullabye for Lucy, Stanford's glorious The Blue Bird, and a new commission from Roderick Williams, this is truly music to escape to.

Awards and reviews
July 2021
The album is an enchanting collection of works loosely themed around the night, from lullabies and nocturnes to the music of late-night revelry. The disc’s title track is a highlight: ‘Good night, good night, beloved’ by 19th-century Italian composer Ciro Pinsuti is a melodious part song which receives a gloriously unbuttoned reading here.
