Another aspect was his well-developed literary taste. He unfailingly selected texts of high quality, including English u2018Georgianu2019 poets, Irish bards, the French Symbolists and poets writing in English who were affected by them, such as James Joyce, as well as some of his own American contemporaries. Throughout his song output, he found ways of embodying the poetsu2019 thought in musical correlatives that were never merely decorative, and developed an instinctive knack for embodying words in a memorable vocal shape. Presented here are a range of early and later songs including Barberu2019s first success for voice, Dover Beach, which the composer sang on its first recording in 1935.
