Hoiby, Lee American composer ( see songs ) 1926 - , working primarily in English This entry contributed by around 10/15/98 Hoiby's songs, many set to distinguished texts by Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, and James Merrill, are widely performed, notably by soprano Leontyne Price. In 1995 his setting of the Martin Luther King, Jr. text Free at Last and five Whitman poems, I Was There, were premiered by baritone William Stone and the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. In 1994 his What Is the Light, based on texts by Virginia Woolf, was performed at the 92nd Street Y by actress Claire Bloom. In August 1996 he was composer-in-residence at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, where a new work for voices, wind quintet and piano, Rain Forest, based on poems of Elizabeth Bishop, was introduced. Hoiby has also made notable contributions to the choral repertory, including the oratorios A Hymn of the Nativity (text by Richard Crashaw, 1960), Galileo Galilei (Barrie Stavis, 1974), and For You O Democracy (Walt Whitman, 1992). Among his numerous anthems and shorter choral works should be mentioned the widely performed Hymn to the New Age which was heard on the internationallly broadcast celebration of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. A commissioned work, Measureless Love for baritone and chorus (text, again, by Walt Whitman) was heard at the centennial celebration of the American Guild of Organists in New York in July 1996.

A.E. Housman: A Shropshire Lad Introduction A Shropshire Lad A.E. Housman Literary Contexts Musical Settings Shropshire: A Map A Map of Shropshire Return to Content Introduction A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad was first published in 1896. Through the 63 poems which make up the sequence Housman memorialises the Shropshire of the ploughman or soldier, living and loving in a county which he describes as the "land of lost content". With its "blue remembered hills", Housman's Shropshire is the Shropshire of Ludlow, the Wrekin and Shrewsbury, Wenlock Edge and the Marches. But it is also the Shropshire of theimagination and the heart, a rural idyll to which the "Shropshire Lad" (whether in London or overseas) longs to return, but cannot. The lyrics, in their mixture of regret, longing, nostalgia and understated and ironic pessimism, have become cultural icons of one version of modern Englishness - rural, provincial and understated in character - which has survived into the 1990s. A Shropshire Lad was slow in gaining recognition in the Edwardian age, although it was known and loved by a generation of intelletuals and writers such as E.M. Forster and his Cambridge contemporaries. In the years after the First World War, it became immensely popular: with the death of so many Shropshire lads in Flanders and on the Somme Housman's verse spoke for a whole generation of young men, slaughtered in the 1914-18 War. The popularity of

Scholars Index Collected Poems of A. E. Housman by A. E. Housman Housman is a wonderful, lyrical poet. I bought this collection after having seen The Invention of Love on the London stage. Most beautiful of all, to my mind, is the poem entitled "To an Athlete Dying Young". This was the eulogy read by Isak Dinesen at Denys Finch-Hatton's funeral in the movie "Out of Africa". The poem, which was originally included in "A Shropshire Lad" (1896) begins: "The time you won your town the race, We chaired you through the market place. Man and boy stood cheering by and home we brought you shoulder high. Today the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home. And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad! to slip betimes away from fields where glory does not stay And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose... And round that early laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find, unwithered on its curls, A garland. Briefer than a girl's."

'Tis a shame to human nature, such a head of hair as his; In the good old time 'twas hanging for the colour that it is; Though hanging isn't bad enough and flaying would be fair For the nameless and abominable colour of his hair.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Alfred Edward Housman Alfred Edward Housman March 26 April 30 ) was an English poet and classical scholar best known for his cycle of poems A Shropshire Lad Table of contents 1 Life 2 Poetry 3 External Links Life Housman was born in Fockbury, Worcestershire , the eldest of seven children of a country solicitor. His brother Laurence Housman and sister Clemence Housman also became writers. Housman was educated first in King Edward's School, then in Bromsgrove School where he acquired a strong academic grounding and won prizes for his poetry. In 1877 he won an open scholarship to St John's College, Oxford , where he studied Classics. He was a brilliant student, gaining First Class Honours in Classical Moderations, but a withdrawn person whose only friends were his roommates Moses Jackson and A. W. Pollard. Housman fell in love with the handsome, athletic Jackson who, being heterosexual, rejected him, though the two remained best friends. This experience, reflected in some of his poems, may be an explanation of Housman's unexpected failure in his final exams (the "Greats") in 1881. Housman took this failure very seriously but managed to take a pass degree the next year, after a brief period of teaching in Bromsgrove School. After graduating, Jackson got a job as a clerk in the Patent Office in

The eldest of seven children in a family that would produce a famous dramatist (Housman's younger brother, Laurence) and a novelist and short story writer (his sister Clemence), Housman attended Bromsgrove School, a notable institution that emphasized Greek and Latin studies. Though successful academically, Housman was a small and frail boy who did not easily form friendships. When he was twelve, Housman's mother died, the first of a number of events which would affect him profoundly and erode his religious faith. (Years later he would write that he "became a deist at thirteen and an atheist at twenty-one.") He also developed a pronounced facial tic that he never entirely overcame. Housman earned a scholarship to St. John's College, Oxford, which he began attending in 1877.

Housman: Scholar and Poet Alfred Edward Housman, a classical scholar and poet, was born in Fockbury in the county of Worcestershire, England on March 26, 1859. His poems are variations on the themes of mortality and the miseries of human condition (Magill 1411). Most of Housman’s poems were written in the 1890’s when he was under great psychological stress, which made the tone of his poems characteristically mournful and the mood dispirited (Magill 1411). "In the world of Housman’s poetry, youth fades to dust, lovers are unfaithful, and death is the tranquil end of everything (Magill 1412)." Throughout his life, Housman faced many hardships. The loss of his mother at age 12 shattered his childhood and left him with tremendous feelings of loneliness, from which he never fully recovered. His father began to drink as a result of his mother’s death and began a long slide into poverty. When Housman went to college, he had a deep and lasting friendship with Moses
