Search - Miranda Mulholland :: Courting Stories: True Love And Treachery

Skye Consort's new program with singer Miranda Mulholland is about love: the first stirrings of love, the heady time two people share as they fall in love. But please don't make the mistake of assuming these songs are all happy and light, for who has heard of love without strife? Or love without loss? While some of these songs tell cheerful stories of young couples falling in love, some recount stories of the betrayal and deceit that so often accompany that very same love. There are stories about the lengths to which people will go for their lovers, and stories about how new love can craze the sane.
