Jon Washburn Choral Series-Jon Washburn musically draws special deep emotions to color this evocative text by Walter de la Mare. The mood is created through the use of a glistening Piano part and a brooding Choral part. Vocal partsare kept in a moderate range mood and motion with small rhythmic devices to delight and challenge the singers.

Work for Soprano or Tenor and Guitar. Commissioned by and dedicated to Peter Pears. Premiered by Pears and Julian Bream. Text: Walter de la Mare

One of Berkeley's earliest published compositions Three Songs to Children sets texts by W B Yeats Wilfred Owen and Walter de la Mare. The direct simplicity of Yeats and Owen settings contrast with a central more ambitious setting of a poem by Wilfred Owen.
