Bravo! An outstanding performance this evening by the tour de force that is @julienvmnz and @alisdairhogarth giving the world premiere @OxfordSong of @ggcomposer's exquisite new song cycle "At the round earths imagin'd corners" setting 7 of the Holy Sonnets by John Donne...
So intense! … the 4th setting of the Donne XIV "Batter my heart, three person'd God" (thought fostered the code name "Trinity" first nuclear weapons test 16July1945 - at the time it is reported Manhattan Project director J. Robert Oppenheimer was reading the Holy Sonnets)…
The new @ggcomposer song cycle takes its title from the opening line of the John Donne Holy Sonnet VII which appears as the first song: At the round earths imagin'd corners.... It's a stunning work…
This captivating and intense new song cycle this evening by @ggcomposer joins a rich legacy of musical settings of the Donne Holy Sonnets by British composers during the 20th-century, inc. Britten, Parry and Tavener:
