Quite different in character is the cabaret item Romance, composed to words by Horovitz's great friend Alistair Sampson, who had been the librettist of his two parody-cantatas for the 1958 and 1961 Hoffnung Music Festivals. Romance was often sung in a version for the King's Singers, who recorded it for their Lollipops album in 1975; and the solo version here is another later conceit.
