In this engaging work Vaughan Williams takes advantage of the
expressive possibilities of the cello, ranging from wistful and
melancholic to lively and jovial. It was composed in 1929 and
premiered the following year by its dedicatee, the legendary
Spanish cellist Pablo Casals. The five folk songs on which the work
is founded are 'Salisbury Plain', 'The Long Whip', 'Low down in the
broom', 'Bristol Town', and 'I've been to France'. Materials for
the orchestral accompaniment are available on hire.
