Original

Edward Thomas was born in Lambeth on 3rd March, 1878, and spent most of his childhood in London. His holidays, however, were spent with relatives in Swindon, and it was there that he developed his abiding love of all things rural. He was educated at St Paul's Hammersmith, and was encouraged in his creative writing by James Ashcroft Noble, whose daughter he secretly married, after her father's death, and to the great disapproval of her family. Despite growing anxiety over poverty, ill health and literary discouragement, which exacerbated a natural tendency to depression, Thomas worked unstintingly as a reviewer, and wrote and published over 30 books between 1897 and 1917. "Adlestrop" was written with four other poems between 7th and 9th June 1915. He enlisted in 1915 at the age of 37, and was called to the Front in 1917. He arrived at Arras on 9th February 1917, and was killed on the 9th April, Easter Monday, by a shell blast in the opening minutes of the offensive. This work for Soprano and Piano was premiered by Jane Manning and Dominic Saunders at the Aldeburgh Festival in 1989. Text by Edward Thomas. A3 Score Available. SOS03574.

Edward Thomas est né à Lambeth le 3 Mars 1878, et a passé la plupart de son enfance à Londres. Ses vacances, cependant, ont été dépensés avec des parents à Swindon, et ce est là qu'il a développé son amour respectueux de toutes choses rurales. Il a étudié à Hammersmith de St Paul, et a été encouragé dans son écriture créative par James Ashcroft Noble, dont la fille qu'il épousa secrètement, après la mort de son père, et à la grande désapprobation de sa famille. Malgré l'anxiété croissante sur la pauvreté, la maladie et le découragement littéraire, qui a exacerbé une tendance naturelle à la dépression, Thomas a travaillé sans relâche en tant que critique, et a écrit et publié plus de 30 livres entre 1897 et 1917. "Adlestrop" a été écrit avec quatre autres poèmes entre 7 et 9 Juin 1915. Il se est enrôlé en 1915 à l'âge de 37 ans, et a été appelé au front en 1917. Il est arrivé à Arras le 9 Février 1917, et a été tué le 9 Avril, le lundi de Pâques, par l'explosion d'obus dans les premières minutes de l'offensive. This work for Soprano and Piano was premiered by Jane Manning and Dominic Saunders at the Aldeburgh Festival in 1989. Text by Edward Thomas. A3 Score Available. SOS03574.
