This is the latest ?? and 7th ?? in an a cappella series going back three decades in which the texts are taken from Shakespeare's plays. ??Come Unto These Yellow Sands? is a gentle invitation to the listener, at least until the animals take over. ??Thou Canst Not Hit It,? in this interpretation, is a song about trying to hit the high and low notes. Surrounded by comedy and tragedy, ??Honour, Riches, Marriage-Blessing? is the idyllic center of the set. ??O Sweet Oliver,? with its dueling boy and girl choirs, leads into ??Willow, Willow,? where the poem's word repetitions inspire the driving rhythm.

With his three songs for mixed a-cappella choir (SSAATB) which were published under the speaking title of 'Fairy Land' in 2013, Hermann Grosse-Schware takes us to the wonderful land of fairy tales. All three six-part works are based on English-language poems by William Shakespeare. The first piece 'Over hill, over dale' from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is characterized by melodic sequences and a distinctive rhythm which portrays the content of the piece headed 'Swift and Easy' as does the swaying 3/4 rhythm of No. 2 'Philomel, with melody'. In the lively 'Come unto these yellow sands' (No. 3) one seems to be experiencing the barking of the dog and the crowing of the cock at first hand.
