Abstract
"The first group on tonight's program focuses on the Renaissance period, that period of enlightenment that fostered many new ideas regarding religion, music, and man's place in the world. One of the most influential poets and theologians of the time was John Donne (1572-1631). At the Round Earth's Imagined Corners is taken from the seventh of Donne's Holy Sonnets, written for King Charles I following the death of King James. The introspective nature of this text on the Apocalypse is somewhat out of character for Donne, whose personal and public theology espoused the sovereignty of Almighty God rather than man's yearning to be united with his maker."--Program Notes.
