Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

This work sets three texts from 'Poem of the North', a collaboration celebrating 50 years of the Northern Poetry Library. The first movement is flowing and forward moving, while the second is simple and folk-like. The final movement's rhythmic drive evokes an exciting train journey through a fast-changing landscape.
Long description:
for SSATB and piano
Songs of the North sets three texts from 'Poem of the North', a poetic collaboration celebrating 50 years of the Northern Poetry Library. As part of the project, poems were written with a new '821' form: a structure characterized by 11-line, three-stanza poems that employ the 'volta' concept to subtly interconnect series of stanzas. The work's celebration of Northern English writing begins with 'North', a flowing and forward-moving movement that reflects the poet's consideration of north as 'a progressive direction'. The second movement, 'Notes made on Hadrian's Wall', has a folk-like simplicity and integrates the folk song 'Waters of Tyne' into the texture. Additionally, the poem's references to the Sycamore Gap tree are given greater poignance following its illegal felling in 2023. The final movement, 'Journey North', has a rhythmic drive that evokes an exciting train journey through a fast-changing landscape.
