About This Item
Both works on this recording represent settings of profound poets that capture some essences of lives lived. Richard Rolle speaks about spiritual awakening in InchThe Fire of Love,Inch while William Blake's InchSongs of InnocenceInch allows us a glimpse into simple, joyous views of the world. Writes James Jordan The music on this recording magically allows us to explore both simple and innocent concepts of love and also helps to guide each of us to deeper exploration of our own spirituality through the words of Rolle and Blake. These works by Patrick Hawes seem to bookend beautifully those deeply human aspects that teach us of both love and wonder through words that relay the moral and personal intensity of life's journeys. The messages of these scores lie in the marriage of the words and the music and the powerful metaphors that are presented in both works.
