Iona

Description

Iona
Edmund Walters

A Hebridean Carol for SATB a cappella and Solo Tenor or Soprano. This simple carol, with the poetry of Peter Kennerly, invokes Christ’s blessing on the ancient island of Iona, which was home to St. Columba and his followers for 200 years, but now lies in ruins, having been ravaged by Norsemen. Walters’ “Iona” gives a vision of this blessed island, with all its rugged and breathtaking beauty.
