Born #OTD in 1892, English composer, Herbert Howells. His 3rd String Quartet ‘In Gloucestershire’, is a deeply personal & evocative work that reflects both the composer’s early maturity & his lifelong connection to the English countryside. https://t.co/BEEMPjqj19

For many listeners, Herbert Howells's choral output will always be associated with his sizeable and significant contribution to the Anglican tradition, but his settings of secular texts should not be overlooked.

'Sine nomine' was written for two soloists, a chorus and an orchestra for the 1922 Three Choirs Festival at the suggestion of Edward Elgar. In Farrington’s arrangement, this orchestral rhapsody transforms into a chamber work, achieving a new-found intimacy.

I may be an atheist, but I have a great fondness for religious music, especially the pueces I sang in the school choir at Rugby. For example, Herbert Howells' setting of Like as the Hart 💖 https://t.co/e2Qs27fjTo
'As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after thee O God' (Ps 42) Hart's-tongue fern - July & now🌿It is usually found near water & I wonder if its name is influenced by Psalm 42🦌 It is an ancient woodland indicator & our only undivided fern💚
