Product details
This moving poem, echoing the 'Song of Songs', was written by a
friend, the British composer and writer Dennis Stoll (1912-87),
not long before his death.
Dennis was the son of Sir Oswald Stoll, the celebrated Edwardian
theatre impresario, perhaps best remembered today for his
association with the London Coliseum. Sir Thomas Beecham moved
and worked within the Stoll empire which resulted in Dennis
becoming a deputy conductor for the London Philharmonic
Orchestra. Beecham was also responsible for encouraging Dennis's
avid interest in Egyptology which became a serious study in later
life and exerted an influence on this poem.
The accompaniment includes a flute part, but a version with piano
alone is included for occasions when no flute is available.
