John Donne, Richard Crashaw, George Herbert – between them they represented a strand of poetry which became known as Metaphysical: a style at once profoundly spiritual, philosophical, and wryly humorous. Composers have flocked to set their poetry, which inspired some of their finest works: Vaughan Williams’ magisterial, moving 𝘍𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴, Judith Weir’s haunting 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘦, and Gerald Finzi’s choral masterpiece 𝘓𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭, 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦. This programme allows listeners to bask in the perfect union of words and music.
