Info & track listings

The Seeds of Love recreates the wonder and excitement of the early 20th-century collectors of English Folk song, as they searched the country for singers of ‘genuine’ song. The story is illustrated by some of the folk songs themselves, performed either as arranged by the collectors, or in Opus Anglicanum’s own arrangements, or as they were originally discovered: solo and unaccompanied.

The programme begins at the formation of the Folk-Song Society in 1898 and ends with the death of Cecil Sharp in 1924. Opus Anglicanum was founded in 1988 by five professional singers and a BBC reader, whose aim is to develop and present their own unique and idiosyncratic programmes of words and unaccompanied vocal music.

Using early music, special arrangements, folk song, chant, and contemporary music, Opus Anglicanum creates a distinctive type of entertainment which has attracted a devoted following.
