‘Eleven-Fifty’ is the fourth of seven separate songs to various poets written byLennox Berkeley in the late 1930s and early 1940s. They were grouped together forconvenience as Opus 14 No. 2.‘The Beacon Barn’ thethird of these songs also has a text by Patrick O’Malleywho according to Tony Scotland was ‘one of the First World War poets whoserved as a private in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers’. ‘Eleven-Fifty’ was composed inApril1938 and is a brief glorification of a high-speed train where the moto perpetuoaccompaniment barely stops. Berkeley admired Honegger bought a copy of thescore of his railway depiction Pacific 231 in 1924 andreviewed enthusiastically an all-Honegger concert conducted by the composer in Paris (‘A Paris Letter’ The MonthlyMusical Record June 1929).

The poem I Sing Of A Maiden is one of the best known of the anonymous medieval hymns deceptive in its simplicity and full of grace and faith. The setting by Lennox Berkeley also has a deceptivesimplicity but reveals on repeated listenings or performances a harmonic integrity and subtlely that has made it a work that will continue to be performed and enjoyed for a long time to come. Lennox Berkeley wascomposing and having his works performed before he finished school then upon meeting Ravel was introduced to legendary teacher Nadia Boulanger in Paris with whom he studied. He mixed with the great artistic and musicalnames of prewar Paris before returning to Britain where he later met and lived with Benjamin Britten before the arrival of Peter Pears in Britten’s life. Berkeley was professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Musicand himself composed more than two hundred works of music many of them of enduring value.
