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.
This study score has been off-printed from OUP's conductor's score
(available on hire), edited by David Lloyd Jones. Based on

scholarship of the conductor's edition with the practical benefits
of a study score format. This edition takes account of practical
performing considerations, where necessary, and includes an
introduction by the editor. Orchestral material is available on

Vaughan Williams's 6th Symphony was composed immediately after the
Second World War and its dramatic and at times violent musical
language was long felt to be a comment on that conflict (though the
composer denied it had any programmatic intent). Its power and
invention were immediately recognized and it has remained part of
the concert repertoire ever since. 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.
Fully compatible orchestral parts are available on hire.

Based on research from all 24 volumes of the William Walton
Edition, this detailed and updated account covers the genesis,

Walton's two coronation marches - Crown Imperial, written for the
coronation of George VI in 1937, and Orb and Sceptre, written for
the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953 - are both stirring marches

The William Walton Edition is a collected edition of the works of
one of England's finest and best-loved composers. Each work is
newly edited and engraved, and checked against the composer's
manuscript, previous published editions, and all other relevant
material. The result is a definitive and fully practical edition,
based on the form in which the composer ultimately wished it to be
performed. Walton wrote much of his Violin Concerto during a stay
in Italy, completing the work in 1939. It was commissioned by
Jascha Heifetz and premiered by him later that year. It was revised
in 1943 and an Appendix to the volume shows Walton's original solo
part, which differs from the later version in details of bowing,
articulation, and occasional revision to notes. The Cello Concerto
dates from 1956, a commission from Gregor Piatigorsky, who
premiered the work in 1957. Walton regarded this work as the best
of his three solo concertos. Orchestral material is available on
hire.
