Programme Note
Thomas Campion (1567-1619) was a poet, musician and physician. His works include four Books of Airs, for which he wrote both words and music.The authorship of the fourth poem of this cycle, The Hours of Sleepy Night, was formerly uncertain, but is now generally accepted as that of Campion. The four poems were written between 1613 and 1618.

...Bennett comes up with a huge range of striking colours and translucent textures to match words perfectly designed for music. The scoring for unaccompanied choir is hugely imaginative, the individual parts clean-edged and well defined.
