Toby Young's I carry your heart for SSATBB unaccompanied
Skilfully set to the tender words of the poet E. E. Cummings, 'I carry your heart' is an unaccompanied secular workoriginally for men's voices, but rescored by the composer in this version for women and men. The piece was commissioned by the acclaimed close-harmony group, The King's Men, and was recorded on their album Love fromKing's.
