Description
Sacred Songs Book 2 consists of two intense religious poems by the English poet George Herbert (1593-1633) in settings for baritone and piano. This poet's deep belief in a Christian God of love and salvation is fervently expressed, often in dialogues with his savior. Begun as a continuation of Fennelly's intial set of three sacred songs (Sacred Songs, Book 1), the cycle was completed in 2015. The texts used come from the 1633 publication of Herbert's The Temple.
