Diary of the Bee (Divine Art) is a collection of very different nature-inspired chamber pieces by Helen Leach, a clarinettist, composer and church music director based in the Scottish borders. Among some delightful neoclassical whimsy, baroque regal tributes and nods to Robert Burns, the highlight is Letters from the Owl House, a solo for cellist Jennifer Langridge that taps into the pastoral yearning of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending.
