The lowest trees have tops (Sir Edward Dyer) 2. Hot sun, cool fire (George Peele) 3. Fire, fire! (Thomas Campion) 4. Come, heavy sleep (Anon.) The first poem sings of the richness, but sometimes the incompatibility, of love, and the second is the mysterious song of Bathsheba, mother of Solomon and alleged seductress of David. The third song portrays the scorching pain of love, which all the oceans of the world cannot quench, and finally the heart-broken lover takes refuge in sleep, ‘the image of true death’ Alan Bullard’s choral works are performed worldwide, and many have been recorded and broadcast.
