Though Stanford's Songs of the Sea is one of the staples of early 20th-century English song, the other two works in this beautifully conceived and performed collection are much less well-known. Songs of the Fleet, from 1910, was designed as a sequel to the Songs of the Sea; it uses a full chorus rather than the male voices of the earlier work but sets a similar selection of poems by Henry Newbolt, while the Tennyson choral setting The Revenge, subtitled A Ballad of the Fleet, is much older and even more of a rarity. With its quasi-operatic characterisations and dramatic retelling of the story of Richard Grenville's heroic battle against the Spanish fleet in 1591, however, it's easy to see why The Revenge was such a huge success across Britain after its first performance in 1886.

Stanford's orchestration is deft too, even though it is short on memorable invention when heard alongside the two song-cycles.
