about

British composer Gerald Finzi’s early life was one of loss. His father, one of his brothers, and his first composition teacher were all killed in the First World War. His other two brothers were lost to pneumonia and suicide. Only his sister and mother lived beyond the Great War. These troubling times shaped Finzi’s life into one of pacifism and introversion, and the Romance matches the proclivities of its composer. Starting from a place of calmness, the opening melodies have a halting, introspective quality tinged with melancholy. The piece builds upon itself to an outburst of passion that quickly fades back, almost apologetically, to a more introspective state. The Romance ends much as it began, in a careful, quiet solitude.
