Vaughan Williams fist encountered the old English folk song Dives
and Lazarus when he was 21, and here presents five variants that
are, in his own words, 'not exact replicas of traditional tunes but
rather reminiscences of various versions in my own collection and
those of others'. The work was premiered in Carnegie Hall as part
of the 1939 New York World's Fair, and is a wonderful example of
the sumptuous string textures and modal tonalities that have become
the composer's trademarks.
