At the recital's heart are two substantial cycles. Setting seven poems by Thomas Hardy, Gerald Finzi's Till Earth Outwears provides an intimate and movingly melancholic commentary in what Ronald Woodley describes in his extensive and informative booklet notes as a \"male perspective on life, love and loss\". Rarely recorded, Howard Ferguson's five-part treatment of Denton Welch's poems, Discovery, typifies \"the subtlety of the relationship between late romanticism, modernism and the inherited idioms of 'Britishness' that composers of Ferguson's generation inevitably grew up with\". It's second song, 'Dreams Melting', provides the recital's title. Three songs make their first appearance on disc. Elizabeth Maconchy's setting of John Donne's passionate but tortured A Hymn to God the Father boasts a searching vocal line underpinned by tellingly interrogative piano. Phyllis Tate's The Falcon is a sparse but powerful setting of an anonymous medieval text while her variegated treatment of William Blake's poem Cradle Song is reminiscent of a Bartók folksong arrangement. Also heard are Maconchy's Four Shakespeare Songs and settings of Ben Jonson's Have You Seen but a Bright Lily Grow? and Robert Herrick's A Meditation for his Mistress, alongside six varied and vital songs by Rebecca Clarke, including The Seal Man, \"one of her most soaring flights of imagination\", and Tate's Epitaph, in which her \"quietly understated writing is masterly\".\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscovery, Op. 13: No. 1, Dreams Melting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscovery, Op. 13: No. 2, The Freedom Of The City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscovery, Op. 13: No. 3, Babylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscovery, Op. 13: No. 4, Jane Allen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscovery, Op. 13: No. 5, Discovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Seal Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cloths Of Heaven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cherry-Blossom Wand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfant Joy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCradle Song (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiger, Tiger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Donne Songs: No. 1, A Hymn To God The Father\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave You Seen But A Bright Lily Grow?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Meditation For His Mistress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill Earth Outwears, Op. 19a: No. 1, Let Me Enjoy The Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill Earth Outwears, Op. 19a: No. 2, In Years Defaced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill Earth Outwears, Op. 19a: No. 3, The Market Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill Earth Outwears, Op. 19a: No. 4, I Look Into My Glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill Earth Outwears, Op. 19a: No. 5, It Never Looks Like Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill Earth Outwears, Op. 19a: No. 6, At A Lunar Eclipse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill Earth Outwears, Op. 19a: No. 7, Life Laughs Onward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Shakespeare Songs: No. 1, Come Away, Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Shakespeare Songs: No. 2, The Wind And The Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Shakespeare Songs: No. 3, Take, O Take Those Lips Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Shakespeare Songs: No. 4, King Stephen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Songs: No. 2, The Falcon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCradle Song (2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpitaph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986042900701,"sku":"748871063020","price":145.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3931739-2674433.jpg?v=1762930326","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/products\/dreams-melting-various-dreams-melting","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
