A choral setting of one of the most romantic pieces of film music by William Walton. The text for this arrangement of the second of William Walton's Two Pieces for Strings from Henry V' is based on the line 'Touch her soft mouth, and part' from Shakespeare's Henry V (Act 2, Scene 3). Recorded under London鈥檚 iconic ship, the Cutty Sark, this melancholic setting is a simple yet highly effective love song.
