Vaughan Williams wrote Symphony No. 8 between 1953 and 1955 while
in his eighties. It is his shortest symphony and considered by many
to be his least serious. Aside from a few sombre moments, the
symphony is optimistic in mood and displays Vaughan Williams's love
for exotic and colourful combinations of instruments with a
percussion sections that, he said, employs "all the 'phones and
'spiels known to the composer". For this newly engraved edition,
editor David Lloyd-Jones has consulted all extant sources and
materials to create a score matching the composer's intentions. The
full score is completed with Textual Notes and Preface, and
accompanying orchestral parts are available on hire.
