Composed in 1987-88 for German soprano Christiane Bracher, the songs were never publicly performed in the composer's lifetime. After her death, the score was digitised by the Savo Music Society's women composers project in Finland. The work was given its posthumous premiere in 2020 at St George's Bristol by soprano Lucy Cox with the Villiers Quartet, and appears as the title work on their 2025 release of Ailsa Dixon's chamber music on the Resonus Classics label.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Composers Edition","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":45149262512207,"sku":"ce-ad1sol1-pr-sp","price":69.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45149263724623,"sku":"ce-ad1sol1-pr-s","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/43552053346449e6c23f6b5a58650a47.jpg?v=1777328863","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/products\/a-dixon-the-spirit-of-love-composers-edition","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
