Britten Thematic Catalogue

Beta Version

BTC213 TO...

For voice and piano
Composition date: ca. Nov 1924
Date notes

The earliest source shares a volume with the manuscript source for The march of the Gods into paridise, which was written in Nov 1924.

Genre: Solo vocal
Text: Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

Notes

One of the sources (Composition draft) has 'Barbara' [Britten] written after the title, thus reading 'To Barbara'. The work does not, however, seem to be dedicated to Britten's eldest sister Barbara as the other source is simply entitled 'To...'.
