Another aspect was his well-developed literary taste. He unfailingly selected texts of high quality, including English \\u2018Georgian\\u2019 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 poets\\u2019 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 Barber\\u2019s first success for voice, Dover Beach, which the composer sang on its first recording in 1935.\u003cp\u003eThere's Nae Lark\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Beggar's Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Dark Pinewood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBessie Bobtail Op.2 No.3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt St. Patrick's Purgatory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChurch Bell At Night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSt. Ita's Vision\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Heavenly Banquet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crucifixion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSea Snatch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePromiscuity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Monk And His Cat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Praises Of God\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Desire For Hermitage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRain Has Fallen Op.10, No.1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSleep Now Op.10, No.2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Hear an Army Op.10, No.3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePuisque Tout Passe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUn Cygne\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTombeau Dans Un Parc\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe Clocher Chante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Daises Op.2 No.1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Rue My Heart Is Laden Op.2, No.2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNocturne Op.13, No.4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSure On This Shining Night Op.13, No.3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDover Beach Op.3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55149719224705,"sku":"758606","price":19.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51_AYXSNKFL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767847208","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/758606","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
