Granville Bantock’s Five Songs from the Chinese Poets, Series I, composed in 1918. This exquisite song cycle features English translations of classical Chinese poetry by L. Cranmer-Byng, set to music by one of Britain’s most visionary composers. A hallmark of early 20th-century Orientalist art song, this edition includes:

  1. The Old Fisherman of the Mists and Waters

  2. The Ghost Road

  3. Under the Moon

  4. The Celestial Weaver

  5. Return of Spring

This original publication from J. & W. Chester is printed on high-quality paper, with a vintage art-nouveau style cover design reflective of the era. Ideal for collectors, performers, or researchers of English song, early 20th-century music, or East-West cultural exchange in the arts.
