Simon Mold is a British composer of tonal classical music and takes his inspiration from several sources including his native Derbyshire. This new disc of song cycles includes A Peakland Suite, music set to Simon Mold’s own poetry. The other cycles use a variety of texts, musing on different aspects of love in A Sum of All Delight. In Memoriam ‘moves from wistful nostalgia and thoughts on mutability through meditations on the futility and despair of war to an appreciation of individual honour and an acceptance of the will of Providence.’

‘In Simon Mold’s Song Cycles the art of melody is in safe hands, making this recent disc well worth exploring, both for its wealth of fresh, vigorous invention and for poetic texts of real, imaginative beauty.’
David Truslove, Opera Today
