Music and words
by rosclarke @ 2007-07-25 - 09:22:13

Thanks to Iulia who left me a link to this site featuring the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins set to music. I've listened to a couple of the samples and I think these may be good, though to my mind Hopkins' poems have a rich enough sound not to need the additional music.

Last week at church we had a setting of 'Love (III)' by George Herbert, by I think Vaughan Williams, though I haven't got my service sheet to check. It was rather lovely, anyway.
