Song settings are at the heart of the second concert in the series; we commence with a largely unknown cycle of songs, “A Fire of Turf”, to texts by the Irish poet Winifred Letts, celebrating the passing seasons of the year, the changing winds, the supremacy of nature and (in true Hardyesque fashion) its oblivion to man. We also hear settings of Joyce and Masefield texts by two of Stanford’s pupils Rebecca Clarke and Muriel Herbert. Finally, we hear one of Stanford’s finest mature works – the sonata for clarinet and piano.
