Peter Maxwell Davies' 1994 work for unaccompanied SATB choir, using text from George Mackay Brown's 1971 poem A Hoy Calendar.
A girdle round the year in five minutes. In twelve clear, simple images George Mackay Brown's poem turns through the months of Orkney life, and as it turns so the modal music, for a modestly able school or amateur choir, moves it on its way, with images of matching lucidity.
Vocal score with piano accompaniment for rehearsal purposes.
