Par PHILIPS JULIAN. Four Sonnets of John Clare by Julian Philips is a 12-minute work for baritone and piano which sets four sonnets by the English poet John Clare. The work reflects on different aspects of Clare\'s human experience: the transcience of worldly renown, the loss of inspiration, a fear of neglect in death and a love of the numinous in nature, and the music seeks to match Clare\'s poetic gestures with clarity and economy. 1.
