for women's chorus and piano. This cantata features sixteen
highly-varied folk song settings, bound together in seasonal
groupings to take the listener on an engaging journey through the
year from Spring to Winter. The prologue implores us to 'sing and
be merry', and many of the songs facilitate this with their
charmingly light-hearted melodies and imaginative orchestral
accompaniment. There are also darker moments, such as the haunting
and heart-rending setting of 'The Unquiet Grave' in 'Autumn'. For
this comprehensive new edition, the editor Graham Parlett has drawn
on all available sources, providing an authoritative full score
with critical commentary. This edition also makes available new
materials for the version for string orchestra and piano, and a new
vocal score.
for solo violin and orchestra or piano This serene romance is one
of Vaughan Williams's most enduring popular works. Taking its title
from a poem by George Meredith, the music perfectly evokes the
lark's 'chirrup, whistle, slur, and shake'. This beautifully
presented new edition of the violin and piano score includes a
preface by Michael Kennedy.
This eight movement work is divided into three groups of movements:
Group I comprises a Prelude, Carol, and Christmas Dance; Group II a
Ballad and Moto perpetuo; and Group III a Musette, Polka
maelancolique, and Galop. It was composed in 1934 for the great
viola player Lionel Tetris, for whom the composer had written Flos
Campi almost a decade earlier. Vaughan Williams's trademark
pastoral lyricism is punctuated by passages of spirited virtuosity,
skilfully exhibiting the abilities of both the instrument and the
player. The work is available with accompaniment for either small
orchestra or piano.

Vaughan Williams' setting of four poems from George Herbert's 1633
collection, "The Temple: Sacred Poems" was done between 1906 and
1911. The premiere was given under the composer's direction on
September 14, 1911 at the Three Choirs Festival in Worcester. This
new edition of the vocal score by Richard Sargeant has been
prepared with chorus' needs in mind. The layout is music improved
over the original 1911 score, with the vocal staves at full size
while the piano reduction is produced in smaller type. It is
printed in a convenient, easy to hold size which fits comfortably
in any choir folder.
Vaughan Williams conducted the first performance of his great
choral symphony on his 38th birthday, October 12, 1910, at the
Leeds Music Festival. The work was well received and has been in
the symphonic repertoire ever since. The text was taken by the
composer from Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass." This digitally
restored score, the first available at a reasonable price, is
reissued from the one first published by Stainer and Bell of London
around 1920. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is
donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and
recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.
