Daisy Chute is in the Sixth Form at The Purcell School studying voice, piano and composition in addition to her A level courses.

Although new to composing, Daisy was a Burnsong Songwriting Competition winner in 2005 and this summer was a Highly Commended finalist in the BBC/Guardian Young Composer Competition.

Last year she produced her debut cd, Simply Jazz, following a successful run at a jazz cabaret show during The Edinburgh Fringe. She was thrilled when Humphrey Lyttelton played a track on his Best of Jazz show on BBC Radio 2 making her the youngest vocalist to ever appear on the show.

A veteran performer, Daisy started to tread the boards as a Young Cosette in Les Miserables and was featured in Stars in their Eyes Kids as the Young Judy Garland. This year she has appeared in a variety of venues: a gala performance at Cliveden, Pizza Express in Soho and The Wigmore Hall where she gave a short recital of Alec Wilder songs.

Daisy has now been signed to Universal Jazz and Classics as part of a four girl classical crossover group ALL ANGELS. Their debut album is released in November this year.

In How Music Works, Daisy performs the Shaker song 'Tis A Gift To Be Simple with Anastacia Nosobin on guitar.

Thanks for the video, Dave!
I recognised the melody as 'Lord of the Dance', and Daisy sang beautifully!

I can't tell from Channel 4's website whether Daisy will appear in the remaining three programmes of the series, but I hope she does.

I've posted a link to the videos on All Angels' Official Forum, because that was where I read about the programme.

Best Wishes,

Richard

Ah, but 'Lord of the Dance' was composed in 1963 by Sydney Carter (1915-2004) and is merely an adaptation of the Shaker tune 'Simple Gifts' (which is what Daisy sang). For some reason, LOTD is accepted and acknowledged as a separate copyright in its own right (see: www.stainer.co.uk/lotd.html).

To further complicate matters, the original tune was *borrowed* by Aaron Copeland and is incorporated into his Appalachian Spring symphony (1955). Borrowed? Did he ever give it back?

Needless to say, I like Daisy's version as much as any.

NICE!

Very well sung indeed. The programme itself was very interesting - that was the first time I've heard Howard Goodall sing as well. x
