About

'Shared Ground' is a set of works by the British composer Alec Roth, featuring several poems and sung texts by the Indian writer Vikram Seth. The title piece of the same name is inspired by Seth’s poetry following a decision to buy and live in the Old Rectory in Bemerton – the former home of the 17th-century poet and priest George Herbert.

Other works on the disc expand this idea of a shared home or dwelling, with 'Earthrise' – a collection of the reflections of Apollo astronauts on viewing the planet from orbit – and 'Hymn to Gaia'.
