Dialect poems set by classical composers is not a genre I would expect to enjoy. But "Linden Lea" is an absolutely stunning song, and is dearly loved by a lot of people who have never had anything to do with folk. It's so simple and sweet it sits happily alongside raditional music. And it is as Dorset as can be, William Barnes wrote the words, the Dorset dialect poet. His statue stands in Dorchester. A great song, music by the great collector Vaughan Williams.
