Written between 1938 and 40 and premiered 2 years later, 'Let us garlands bring' should be considered amongst Finzi鈥檚 very best work. He conveys a wide variety of emotions from apprehension and anxiety (Come away, Death) to hope (O mistress mine) and joy (it was a lover鈥�) in the 5 Shakespeare settings he chose. The most profound is Fear no more鈥� an elegy on the passing of time.
