It's...I the lark ascending was written...
it was a piece by Vaughn Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the opens with this calm set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry.

it starts with this of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
nimble then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.

who died in 1909 and the composer a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] ...the year died?

[David:] ...well it went...and it went this it says uh...

"He and begins to round,

He drops the silver of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine overflows

To us with him as he goes.

lost on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?
