Programme Note
The setting of this poem by the Elizabethan author and dramatist Robert Greene takes a slightly unusual approach to a conventional but, I suspect, somewhat tongue-in-cheek complaint of Venus to Adonis. Infida is in love, and demented by it; in Italian, an infida is an untrustworthy or unfaithful woman, someone who does not inspire confidence.
Infida’s Song was written in April 2004 and is dedicated amicably to Michael Berkeley.
