The latest album by
Jennifer Cutting's Ocean Orchestra,
Song of Solstice, contains a version of the poem
Fall, Leaves, Fall by Emily Brontë. The song was first included on the 2005 album
A Holiday Feast, Vol. 8 with vocals by Annie Haslam. We don't know whether this version is the same one or it has been recorded again:
Track 7. Fall, Leaves, Fall 4:18 (Listen here)
The Maryland Gazette talks to Jennifer Cutting:
Jordan Edwards: You and Steve work at the Folklife Center. Does that provide an advantage when it comes to finding new music?
JC: Absolutely. We have good research chops because we spend every day here helping other researchers find what they are looking for in our collection. I happened to take a book off the shelf and it fell open to this song, "Time to Remember the Poor." I had been looking for a winter song. I said, "Wow. That's the one." I found an [Emily] Brontë poem, "Fall, Leaves, Fall," deep within the library's collection.
