He chose four of the 154 poems, and arranged them into a cycle of love songs, love, although changeable and transient - like the seasons of the year - making human life meaningful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the songs has a different character: the first - serene, the second - humorous, the third - nostalgic, the fourth - full of sorrow and grief. ''Four Love Sonnets'' is a stylisation which is perfect in every respect. in setting artistic and beautiful poetry to music, the composer attached great importance to a pure, clear musical image characterised by a distinct and noble melodic line, simple instrumentation, and discreetly ornamented classical harmonies. The changes of mood are emphasised by different Major-Minor modes, such refinements being enhanced by changes of metre, cadential figures, trills and ornaments, or witty dissonances (in the second song).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PWM Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45983848857679,"sku":"PWM4270","price":43.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/441196f23bd6bc14eb3d7cbee6951817.jpg?v=1782767182","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/products\/baird-four-love-sonnets-pwm","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
