'You did not want for joy' is Carolyn Sampson and Matthew Wadsworth’s third album together. It is a song recital programme, bookended by old and new settings of the same texts, interspersed with themes of nature, love, and the human condition. It features folk songs and broadside ballads, as well as songs by Dowland, Campion, Purcell and Britten. There is also a new commission by Nico Muhly – the first piece of new music to be written for Sampson and Wadsworth as a duo – a setting of the text from Hildegard von Bingen’s O viridissima virga.
