    What is the 'Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo'?

    Question #1485. Asked by abba. (Apr 18 00 7:45 PM)

    		Musical works by Benjamin Britten: The "Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo", Op.22, written for Peter Pears, were composed in 1940 while Britten was in America. Departing from his earlier settings of English texts, he undertook certain continental stylizations, broadening, through the use of this continental idiom, his own distinctive style. The sonnets, therefore, are the most fully realized of the European and Italian character and are recognized as the "songs in which he seems to come to maturity as a song composer." The Michelangelo Sonnets all deal with love, the lover and his beloved.
