REET Songs is the name given to the latest touring concert from this exciting collaboration between leading percussionist Evelyn Glennie and the eclectic voices of the Kings Singers. The name derives from Steve Martland's new collection of songs written to commission by the group and based on the theme of death and resurrection.

Before I say anything about these pieces themselves, there's a point to be made about their presentation. There are four songs in the collection and in this instance they were interspersed throughout the programme rather than grouped. on hearing the songs I felt there were benefits to be gained from a complete performance.

That said, these are little gems of contemporary vocal music, based on children's songs and hymns - Poor Roger, Oranges and Lemons, Green Gravel, and Jenny Jones. The usual features of Martland's music, such as dense rhythms and melodic repetition, are present but it's refreshing to hear them executed by voices rather than his customary band. Elsewhere, the programme presented a variety of South African-influenced music. Peter Klatzow's Return of the Moon, an atmospheric song cycle, was exquisitely voiced, Glennie providing an incidental sound scape on marimba. Later they combined their talents in a selection of songs from Paul Simon's Graceland album.

Glennie gave dazzling solos on Scottish composer David Horne's Reaching Out and Frum by Icelander Askell Masson while the Kings Singers demonstrated both their vocal and theatrical expertise in Van Dijk's Horizons and Lalela Zulu by Stanley Glasser. A string of encores ensued, my personal favourite being U2's MLK - an urban hymn to the memory of Martin Luther King.
