The other night on the radio I heard a peice that began with some haughty Brit quoting John Donne's "Love no season knows nor clyme...". Anyone know the name?

Gah! I've heard this. It's a setting of several Donne poems, and it's by an American composer. I could be thinking of something else though. Both my brain and google are refusing to yield any answers, sadly.

Could be Ralph Vaughn Williams' Sinfonia Antartica.

RVW seems to be it. Thanks for that.
