Written to celebrate a friend’s birthday, Who Wrote the Book of Love? is a thirty-minute song cycle for bass-baritone and string quartet. By turns elegiac, enigmatic, sardonic and passionate, the seventeen lyrics by Alasdair MIddleton explore love in a sequence of different poetic modes. The titles of each – Greek Love, Persian Love, Gallant Love, Cold Love, Gypsy Love – are echoed in a prismatic array of musical colours.
This is Dove’s second work for the remarkable Canadian bass-baritone Philippe Sly, for whom he wrote Three Tennyson Songs.
