Evening
with Angels is
described as a "textless song-cycle": the title derives
from Wallace
Stevens: but the concealed poems, which provide atmosphere,
mood, and specific rhythmic and melodic colour almost throughout,
are all by Tennyson. Originally
these "songs without voices" were held within a thrice-given
frame of furious constructivism (guilty palliation of a relinquished
modernist idiom?) which later revizions (the last in 1993) removed
(together with a further Tennyson Lyric
that still awaits a good home). |
