Book Overview
The Curfew Bell is a book by Frank Lynes that presents a lyrical setting of R. H. Thorpe's celebrated poem from 1891. The poem is a reflection on the tradition of the curfew bell, which was a bell that was rung at nightfall in medieval times to signal the end of the day and the need for people to extinguish their fires and lights. Lynes' setting of the poem is a musical interpretation that captures the mood and emotion of the original text. The book includes the full text of the poem, along with Lynes' musical score and notes on the composition. It is a beautiful and evocative work that celebrates the power of poetry and music to capture the essence of a bygone era. The Curfew Bell is a must-read for anyone who loves poetry, music, or history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
