A
Vision was written for
the tenor Anthony Rolfe
Johnson and commissioned
by the London Mozart
Players. The first
performance was at the
Gregynog Festival in June
1991. Geoffrey Burgon has
set 7 poems of John Clare
(1793-1846) and the poems
that Burgon has chosen
were all written whilst
Clare was in Northampton
Asylum. The work is
scored for tenor and
string orchestra. There
is a prominent part for
solo violin, which
reflects Clare's love of
that instrument and upon
which he would play folk
tunes and dances.
