Berkeley, Michael - Three songs to children

for soprano or tenor voice and piano One of Berkeley's earliest published compositions, Three Songs to Children sets texts by W B Yeats, Wilfred Owen, and Walter de la Mare. The direct simplicity of Yeats and Owen settings contrast with a central, more ambitious setting of a poem by Wilfred Owen.
