Music is a setting of Walter De La Mare's poem of the same name. It is essentially an ode to music and its effect on the senses. The words are highly descriptive and John Bartlett's setting not only brings out the lushness of the words but also their power. The song is ideally suited to the soprano voice, since the top note is a prolonged A4 (compass C#4 to A5). It is about 2 mins. 45 in duration.
