Composer Matthew Harris lives in New York City, where he works as a musicologist. He studied at The Juilliard School, New England Conservatory and Harvard University, and has received numerous grants and awards. His 6 books of “Shakespeare Songs” (this is from book II) are justifiably popular with choruses. Harmonium has performed them in various concerts, his major cantata Oceanic eyes, and commissioned and premiered his major Christmas Oratorio, A Child’s Christmas in Wales in 2002. Harris explains “Although Take, O Take Those Lips Away has traditionally been set to music as a slow lament, I gave it the driving force of a lover scorned.”
