A Vision was written for the tenor Anthony Rolfe Johnson and commissioned by the London Mozart Players.The first performance was at the Gregynog Festival in June 1991.Geoffrey Burgon has set 7 poems of John Clare (1793-1846) and the poems that Burgon has chosen were all written whilst Clare was in Northampton Asylum.The work is scored for tenor and string orchestra.There is a prominent part for solo violin, which reflects Clare’s love of that instrument and upon which he would play folk tunes and dances.
