Brontë-inspired music: Giffen and Gibbons

Two more samples of Brontë-inspired music to be found recently on YouTube:

1. Russell Giffen's piece Charlotte's Prelude from his album Lonelier Districts of the Heart:

Charlotte's Prelude: My prelude for english horn (and a selection of my photographs) inspired by the beautiful writings of miss Charlotte Brontë who taught me that love can be found in the smallest of things...in the quietest of places... but most often in the lonelier districts of the heart...

2. And another Jack Gibbons musical setting of a poem by Emily Brontë: Beloved Again (Opus 16)

Jack Gibbons' song 'Beloved Again' Op.16, a setting of the words of Emily Brontë (1818-1848), sung by Ann Mackay (soprano), accompanied by the composer (recorded in London, November 2003). The video is accompanied by the haunting photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879)
