Gerald Finzi – best known for Clarinet Concerto, 5 Bagatelles, choral works. Greatest inspiration, works came from love of English poetry.
“So, to one long-sweeping symphony, from times remote,
Till now of human tenderness, shall we supply one note,
Small and untraced, yet all that will ever be,
Somewhere afloat amid the spheres, as part of life’s antidote”.
