Five songs for Mezzo Soprano and Piano

Also available (in the original version) for Tenor & Harp - See OCR122.

These songs are among Berkeley's earliest compositions, written in the mid-1970s at the suggestion and encouragement of Peter Pears. The poems, by Thomas Hardy, were chosen for various treatments of one theme - death, and the grave. Some are wistful, some tragic, some humorous.
