C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8087-E). English.John Keats’s poetry is especially well-suited to music because of its rich imagery and clear formal structures. The music here was composed within an English musical aesthetic, appropriate for a text by an English poet. Much of the music, especially the double choir sections, were inspired by the English choral music in the Anglican tradition. In addition to antiphonal textures, this piece employs some complex polyphony, reminiscent of the Renaissance, with a rich harmonic palette full of clusters and cross-relations. The piece ends in a dreamlike state, where the grasshopper and cricket are blurred into the overall beauty of nature. May be performed jointly as Two Keats Choruses with The Human Seasons (8086).

C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8606-E). English.The composer has crafted a very literal musical interpretation of this text by Benjamin Britten. For instance, the word “minor� is set in pulsating minor triads. Also, the initials “E. B.� are sung on the pitches E and B. This composition shares similarities with music one might hear performed by a cappella groups on college campuses, such as humming and singing on neutral vowels like “Oh� and “Ah.� Elements of this piece also resemble 20th Century English choral music by William Walton and Ralph Vaughan Williams, in addition to Britten himself. Examples include abruptly distant harmonic changes, shocking cross-relations, and slow triplets that match the rhythm of the English language. Overall, A Prep-School Boy is very much in the spirit of the composer that it honors. Duration: 5:00.

The music has religious intensity and a modern sensibility.
