Originally commissioned by Siân and Tony Hughes to be performed during Rhiannon and Robin’s wedding, and first sung by friends and members of Coro Chamber Choir, We are Married is an intimate vignette of true love. The composer sourced the text from letters between Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett; the words were therefore not only exchanged by a real couple truly in love, but also written by renowned poets expressing their strong feelings with beautiful eloquence. Their shared respect and a sense of their relationship being a ‘partnership of equals’ shines through these lines, making them relevant not only for the piece’s dedicatees, but also for any modern couple seeking a secular anthem to accompany a religious or civil marriage ceremony, or other occasion of mutual commitment.
