Product details
A song cycle centered on poetry, based on omnipresent sentiments
of death, grief and loss. The text has been drawn from a
selection of poetry that spans centuries and the globe, including
tenth-century Japanese poet Izumi Shikibu, nineteenth-century
English poet John Keats, American writer Walt Whitman, Irish poet
William Butler Yeats, French novelist Marcel Proust, American
poet Sara Teasdale, and further into the twentieth-century with
American writer e. e. cummings, Welsh poet and writer Dylan
Thomas, to contemporary Australian poet, dancer and filmmaker
Richard James Allen.
"Meditating on a beautiful expression of sadness can help to
provide a thoroughly uplifting sense of consolation". [Robert
White from the liner notes of John Dowland's 'In Darkness Let Me
Dwell'].
