Ten programmes celebrating areas of excellence in the British arts. 7: Brian Patten and The Sharpham Song Cycle
This week's film features a group of poems by the poet BRIAN PATTEN that have been set to music by HUGH OCKENDON. Patten reads, talks about his work and introduces us to the beautiful natural setting in which the poems were written and, for the first time on television, are now performed. Ian Caddy (baritone)
