Description:
Was sensitive to poetry
It's his harmonic style that gives the text its clearest voice, underscoring and intensifying moods and images within the verse
Used a text-oriented style of composition, with a primarily syllabic approach to word setting. This remained a standard in British songwriting until Benjamin Britten
