    David Harley: Words & Music Series

    By David Harley

    ()

    About this series

    This is one of a series of books based on the music of David Harley. This one is based on the album 'Tears of Morning', which comprises songs and settings of poetry with a sometimes tenuous connection to Shropshire and the Welsh Marches. One such connection is that several (not all) of the poetry settings are from Housman's 'A Shropshire Lad'. The book contains a wealth of commentary information on the historical, traditional, musical and/or biographical background to the songs and poems.

    An updated version of the album called "So Sound You Sleep - More Tears of Morning" features many more tracks in order to reflect the content of the book. 

    Another collection of musical settings to verse by other poets will appear in due course.

      In the early 80s I contributed much of the songs and music (and some other bits and pieces) to a revue called Nice, if you can get it directed by Maggie Ford, which was centred on the world of work. Some of that material appeared more recently on the album Hands of the Craftsman. That album formed the basis of this book: however, it includes much supplementary material. This includes not only historical and anecdotal material, but material that wasn't included in the revue, and other material that wasn't originally intended for the revue, but fits the topic. Some of this material has never been published previously in any form.

    David Harley

    David and Rosemary Harley have served together as missionaries in Europe, Africa and Asia. After ministering in an English parish, they worked among Falasha Jews, one of the poorest and most disadvantaged communities in Africa. On return to the UK, they spent fifteen years at All Nations Christian College, UK, where David served as principal for eight years. This was followed by several years with Crosslinks and the World Evangelical Fellowship, serving as mission training consultants. David was subsequently invited to become the General Director of OMF International, which entailed not only leading one of the largest mission agencies in the world, but also travelling extensively throughout East and South East Asia. Together they have amassed a huge amount of experience of how to do mission well and encourage others to do it well too.
