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

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.
