  • FINZI BOOKLET:Bob.Qxd 14/4/08 16:08 Page 1
    FINZI BOOKLET:bob.qxd 14/4/08 16:08 Page 1 Finzi had a natural affinity with the timbre of the deep-hued tones of the clarinet, as is obvious in the instinctive, had when very young. For Finzi this became a crux of his artistic creed, that the artist must keep his or her vision idiomatic writing for the instrument in his Clarinet Concerto (1948-9), written for the greatest British clarinettist of alive and fresh at all costs, and by extension any adult too. The excerpt on this CD, Then sing, ye Birds, sing a joyous the day, Frederick Thurston, who gave the first performance at the Hereford Three Choirs Festival in September 1949 song! is a fast exultant passage from towards the end of the work. with the composer conducting. Since then the work has established itself as one of the most popular twentieth- A Young Man’s Exhortation (1926-9) received its première in 1933. The eponymous opening song ends with Finzi century concertos for the instrument. The dynamic of the first movement lies between the orchestra’s attempts to drawing a melodic phrase of wistful tenderness at the words ‘the passing preciousness of dreams’. The Best of establish the gritty, restless mood of the opening, and the soloist’s quiet determination to affirm a calm lyricism. It was a characteristic of Finzi to complete works slowly over a number of years; thus Dies natalis had its origins Another colour to which Finzi was drawn was the baritone voice as heard in his Shakespeare settings Let us in the 1920s, yet was not completed until 1939.

  • A Performance Study of Gerald Finzi's Song Cycle “Before and After Summer”
    A PERFORMANCE STUDY OF GERLAD FINZI’S SONG CYCLE “BEFORE AND AFTER SUMMER” D. M. A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chia-wei Lee, M. M. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 D. M. A. Document Committee: Approved by: Dr. Robin Rice, Adviser Dr. C. Patrick Woliver ____________ Adviser Dr. Graeme Boone School of Music ABSTRACT This document discusses the British composer, Gerald Finzi (1901-1956), the poet, Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), and Finzi’s song cycle, “Before and After Summer” (poems by Thomas Hardy). An overview of Finzi’s and Hardy’s biographies allows the reader/performer to clearly understand Finzi’s and Hardy’s positions in music/art history. Their composition/writing styles are also discussed to help the reader/performer understand their works. In the last chapter, the song cycle “Before and After Summer” is examined in terms of both its poetry and its music, although the analysis of the poetry receives more emphasis. Gerald Finzi can be regarded as one of the best British pastoral composers in the first half of the twentieth century. He began studying music in his teenage years. Most of his music works are in the vocal field, however, some of his concerto works, such as Clarinet Concerto and Severn Rhapsody, also earned him a high reputation. Finzi was also a collector of eighteenth century poems and music. His knowledge of both traditional eighteenth century art/music styles and early twentieth century music forms allowed him to express his music in a mixed way that included both traditional and contemporary styles.

Introduction Gerald Finzi was born in London on 14 July 1901 and spent his early childhood in London. His father died when he was just seven and following the outbreak of the First World War Finzi moved with his mother to Harrogate, in Yorkshire. There Finzi was able to study composition with the composer Ernest Farrar and from 1917 with Edward Bairstow at York Minster. But attracted by the beauty of the English Countryside, Finzi moved to Painswick, Gloucestershire, in 1922 where he was able to compose in tranquillity. His first published work was ‘By Footpath and Stile’ (1921-22), a song-cycle for baritones and string quartet to texts by Thomas Hardy, whose work Finzi greatly admired.
