Like many composers who found themselves in exile during the war years, Castelnuovo-Tedesco composed in a very neoclassical and neoromantic style, reviving more traditional or antiquated ideas of melody, tonality and texture. His collection of Shakespeare Songs feature settings of verse from across the full range of the Bard's plays, and have proved to be great critical successes still widely performed today. Suitable to be adapted by most voices. the songs are interwoven with complex and thrilling Piano accompaniments that bring colour and energy to the often liberally edited texts. Book eight contains three songs adapted from A Winter's Tale and Cymberline.

This substantial cycle was written for the tenor Peter Pears, and first performed by him in 1953 at the Royal Festival Hall, London, with the distinguished pianist Noel Mewton-Wood. It follws the example of Britten's Serenade in setting a variety of poets, and the set is framed by settings of the same words by Goethe in translation by Louis MacNeice, the unifying factor being presumably the quality of the poetry. The angry setting of Timor Mortis, using the well-known Dies Irae tune is the emotional hear of the cycle.John Turner 2010.

Wahrend der vielen Corona-bedingten Lockdowns seit Fruhjahr 2020 habe ich mich, warum auch immer, tief in die vielgestaltige wie aufregende amerikanische Lyrik des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts verloren - auch, aber nicht nur auf der Suche nach spannenden, vertonbaren Texten.Bei William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) schliesslich, der trotz seiner eminenten Bedeutung gar nicht so viel vertont wurde, hat mein Suchradar schliesslich angeschlagen.Fernab der protzerischen Bildungsburgerei eines T.S. Eliot, Lichtjahre entfernt von der gefahrlichen Faschismus-Nahe eines Ezra Pound, gehort WCW, wie er gerne liebevoll genannt wird, mit Elizabeth Bishop und Robert Lowell wohl zu den Fixsternen der amerikanischen Moderne. Diese feine, reduzierte, vermeintlich unscheinbar-verspielte, auf den zweiten Blick aber so subversive und messerscharf-bedeutungsreiche Lyrik hat mich seitdem vollends in ihren Bann gezogen.Auf Gedichten aus drei Banden basierend, ,,Sour Grapes(1921), ,,An Early Martyr and Other Poems (1935) und ,,The Wedge (1944), habe ich schliesslich einen sechs Orchesterlieder umfassenden Zyklus komponiert. Mit diesem wollte ich WCWs Gedichte nicht etwa verdoppeln oder nachzeichnen, sondern ganz bewusst meine personliche Sicht auf diese fragilen Meisterwerke werfen. Dieses Auftragswerk der Wiener Symphoniker und des Wiener Konzerthauses wurde vom fein modellierten Klang und Facettenreichtum dieses wunderbaren Orchesters inspiriert. Es ist meinen Eltern gewidmet.
