His “Bonnie Wee Thing” and “The Wind that Shakes the Barley” are from songbooks produced by the choir for which composers wrote a trio of songs, one pentatonic, one diatonic with accidentals and the other diatonic with no accidental. These two are Johnston’s pentatonic ones and both exhibit great charm and imagination in their treatment of the pentatonic scale. Finally “The Circus” by Stephen Deazley, one of the diatonic (without accidentals) songs from the songbook project. It is a lively and fun piece, sung with great enthusiasm and patent enjoyment by the choir. Reviewed by Robert Hugill. Full review here.
