In Slavic folklore, Rusalki are powerful, enticing female entities who inhabit waters, forests and fields. Believed to be the restless spirits of women who have died unjust, untimely, or unnatural deaths - such as brides who died on their wedding night; young mothers who perished during childbirth; unmarried women who committed suicide after being rejected by a lover; or female babies who were stillborn - Rusalki regulate human, animal and agricultural fertility; seasonal cy... less

The music was devised to short call order for a Mothers' Union Deanery Service in what was then Leeds Parish Church on Lady Day - the Feast of the AnNunciation - in March 1979. Its accompaniment owes much to the setting of Robert Herrick's 'Litany to the Holy Spirit' by Peter Hurford of some twenty years earlier. 'Ave Maria' has been extensively recorded and broadcast by choirs of all traditions, especially children's choirs. Eventually, a version of the piece for four-part choir emerged during the early weeks of 2003 in response to a request from Gordon Stewart on behalf of the BBC Radio 4 Pilgrim Choir and it is this more recent version that is sung here.
This performance was recorded in Leeds Minster on Sunday 28th April 2013 during the recital of 'Music with Minster connections' sung by St Peter's Singers of Leeds, directed by the composer. The organist is David Houl... less
