Portée et contenu
Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Some general remarks [about "The Bride of Dionysus"]: Trevelyan should not consider the music at all, except when 'it is a question of a very few words with very plain meaning & a rhythm which music... cannot but exaggerate'. Is increasingly convinced that it is 'the business of the English composer to learn how to sing the English language', not for 'the English poet to spoil his verse to suit the incompetence of the English composer'. Since this is opera, not pure lyric, musical form need not be rigid in detail such as 'the correspondence of lines & strophes'.
