Ian Venables’ setting of four poems of A.E. Housman originally scored for tenor solo string quartet and piano here arranged for tenor and piano. Lyrical pieces of intermediate difficulty sometimes elegiac sometimes angry. Written in 2004 but very much in the English song tradition of Finzi Gurney and Warlock these are therefore ideal recital companions to those composers.
