Hark, all ye Lovely saints above Diana hath agreed with Love, His fiery weapon to remove. Fa la la. Do you not see How they agree? Then cease fair ladies; why weep ye? Fa la la. See, see, your mistress bids you cease, And welcome Love, with Love's increase, Diana hath procured your peace. Fa la la. Cupid hath sworn His bow forlorn To break and burn, ere ladies mourn.

The islands' musical heritage stretches back a thousand years, offering a rich store of treasures: dances, folkSongs, madrigals, plainsong chants, airs, anthems, and more. In their variety and beauty, they lie at the heart of Albion's inspiration. Many of the Songs are hundreds of years old, but in Fraser Wilson's arrangements they are reclothed in lush contemporary colours. Working with up to twelve singers at a time, Albion performs mostly unaccompanied, allowing the purity of the human voice to sound across the centuries. The group is known for its fresh sound and vibrant energy, and for warm, wholehearted music-making.  less
