Product description
A Young Man's Exhortation was written between 1926-29 and was published in 1933 as opus 14 for tenor and piano. The song set is Finzi's only true song cycle. although he didn't call it a song cycle but there is definitely continuity from a youthful figure to one contemplating the end of life by the time we reach the last several songs. Finzi divided the song set in to two halves and subtitled each half with Latin. Part 1 is entitled "Mane floreat, et transeat" and Part 2 "Vespere decidat, induret et arescat." Mark Robert Carlisle strengthens the argument for calling A Young Man's Exhortation a song cycle in his performance analysis of Gerald Finzi. "Although the poems were taken from various Hardy collections, and written at various times in the poet's life, there is a logical progression of thought and event in this cycle. Only one such as Finzi, who was familiar with the poet's entire body of work, could have chosen poems as appropriate as these and arrange them in such a coherent manner. They express in cyclical fashion the essence of Hardy's experiences and philosophy of life."
