This collection of essays on Vaughan Williams brings together
leading British and American scholars and covers a wide range of
topics and approaches, exploring musical language, cultural
context, biography, manuscript sources and reception history.
Despite Vaughan Williams' seminal importance in British music,
international stature as a symphonist, and wider significance as an
icon of Englishness, very little new research on his life or music
has been published since the mid-1960s. The ten essays presented
here examine diverse subjects such as the place of Vaughan Williams
in the construction of English national identity this century, the
role of rhythm in his symphonies, music for propaganda films, and
his unpublished early orchestral pieces; major works such as the
Tallis Fantasia and the Fifth Symphony are analysed in depth.
