Ivor Gurney
Ivor Bertie Gurney is an English poet and composer, particularly on songs. He was born and raised in Gloucester. He has suffered manic depression for most of his life and spent the last 15 years in a psychiatric hospital. Gurney's critique was complicated by this, as was the need to appraise both his poetry and music. Gurney himself considered music his true calling: “A clearer vision brought music; deeper and weaker ”.
