This recording offers three world premieres, being the first-ever recording of the four Maude White songs, and the first recordings by a tenor of the two significant cycles by Lehmann and Somervell. The poetry is rich in imagery, playing upon the threads of grief, love, redemption, and, perhaps most important to the settings on this disc, inner turmoil. The longer poems present narratives with strongly drawn characters and narrative arcs befitting a song-cycle; it is no wonder that the three composers represented on this disc-Maude White, Arthur Somervell, and Liza Lehmann-could not resist trying their hand at setting portions of two of Tennyson's best-known works, In Memoriam and Maud.
