He is best known for his series of albums setting to music the lyrics of [William Blake](/source/William_Blake), [W. B. Yeats](/source/W._B._Yeats) and [Olav H. Hauge](/source/Olav_H._Hauge).

Two albums setting to music the words of Blake were released in 1997 and 1998.{{Cite web |title=Finn Coren, The Blake Project: Spring and The Blake Project: Spring: Appendix {{!}} Thomas Dillingham {{!}} Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly {{!}} Volume 32, Issue 2 |url=https://bq.blakearchive.org/32.2.dillingham |access-date=2025-03-18 |website=bq.blakearchive.org}} His next project, ''Lovecloud'', was dedicated to his heroes, Blake, Yeats and [John Lennon](/source/John_Lennon), but the songs were written by Coren himself.
