BACKGROUND
The 3 pieces are linked by the theme of longing and, for me, the power of music to convey deep yet subtle emotion. The sequence culminates in Ivor Gurney's "Severn Meadows" set to his own poem, written while he was serving in France in World War 1 and longing for his beloved Gloucestershire. Sublime!
