This work, commissioned by Jeremy Huw Williams in association with the Vaughan Williams Trust, sets three poems by Dylan Thomas. The first is melancholic in character; the second contrasts the fearlessness of childhood with the caution of adulthood; and the third is a joyful setting that moves through the four seasons of the year.
