Commissioned by Philip Rushforth for the choir of Chester Cathedral and in loving memory of Capt. William Robert and Mrs Vera Willis. ‘Come Away’ sets three texts from the Songs of Solomon, which speak about love between two people. The intimate verses are positive and strong, with an attachment to the natural world and living things.

Dedicated to Jessica and Michael Sweeney
