Lyrics
by Charles
Dibdin.
When Haydn
was not around, there was
always Charles Dibdin
(1740-1814) who regaled
London with his songs at
the same period. Davies's
arrangement of four of
them makes an amused but
also affectionate picture
of the man. The vocal
lines are essentially
unchanged, but the
accompaniment is
sometimes teased towards
new metres and harmonies.
