Reviews

This is a fascinating anthology of poems by British and American poets, known and unknown, about composers and often specific pieces of music.
*MUSICAL OPINION QUARTERLY*

Any dip into it brings up a fascinating encounter between sister arts.
*THE SUNDAY TIMES*

This wonderful new anthology...contains far too many artistic riches and provokes far too many thoughts to be absorbed in one, two or even three readings. 5 star.
*BBC MUSIC*

Accompanied Voices is a superb anthology. It enlarges my appreciation for poets whose work I already know, and it has introduced me to writers I have never read (or in a few cases I had never even heard about). It is so seldom I find a book that is so fresh, rich, and well curated. Even the title is brilliant. DANA GIOIA, poet, critic and former Chair of the NEA

This was a brilliant concept to present the history of music through poetry. Greening has produced a classic that should be both a delight and source of information for years. It is also a beautiful book to hold as well as own. I can't praise it high enough.
*EDWARD STOREY*

This is a very special book with its masterly introduction. I was enchanted, moved and amazed. A glorious collection beautifully presented.
