In the text that accompanies these fourteen songs, Arthur Geddes discusses the life and work of Tagore, the sources from which the poet took his inspiration, and the translator’s own efforts in trying not only to faithfully translate Tagore’s words but to convey the imagery, rhythms and verse forms of the originals.
    The songs are presented in modern musical notation for singers and instrumentalists, divided into three sections:

–  five songs from the song-drama ‘Raja’ (‘The King of the Dark Chamber’)
–  seven songs of prayer, resolution and mourning
–  two songs of youth and Santiniketan

Fleeing Vesuvius discusses the economic changes needed to cope with the current financial crisis and how we must develop self-reliant local communities for the future.
