John Donne, Richard Crashaw, George Herbert between them they represented a strand of poetry which became known as Metaphysical: a style at once profoundly spiritual, philosophical, and wryly humourous. Composers have flocked to set their poetry, which inspired some of their finest works: Vaughan Williams magisterial, moving Five Mystical Songs , Judith Weirs haunting Vertue , and Gerald Finzis choral masterpiece Lo, the full, final sacrifice . This programme allows listeners to bask in the perfect union of words and music.Programme:Vaughan Williams Five Mystical Songs
