R3,045 Discovery Miles 30 450 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This four-act comic opera celebrating Shakespeares Sir John Falstaff was given its first professional performance in 1946. The libretto, written by the composer, is based on The Merry Wives of Windsor, and interpolates texts by contemporaries of Shakespeare such as Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and Thomas Campion. The work contains English folksong material and fine examples of the composer's orchestral lyricism and dramatic flair. Music from the opera was later adapted to form the cantata In Windsor Forest and the Fantasia on Greensleeves. For this comprehensive new edition, the editor (and conductor) David Lloyd-Jones has drawn on all available sources, providing an authoritative Study Score with critical commentary. The performance materials are newly-engraved. The orchestral score, vocal score, choral scores, and the optional Episode & Interlude are also available on hire. Please note that this score comes as two separate volumes.

Ralph Vaughan Williams; Edited by David Lloyd Jones
R3,057 Discovery Miles 30 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

for soprano solo, SSA chorus, and full orchestra This new edition of Vaughan Williams's Symphony No. 7, the Sinfonia Antartica, has been prepared by David Matthews with support from the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust.

This new edition contains an introduction and textual commentary and is published as a full score, study score, and women's chorus, with all performing material on hire.

Symphony No. 5 (Sheet music, Study score): Ralph Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 5 (Sheet music, Study score)
Ralph Vaughan Williams; Edited by Peter Horton
R616 Discovery Miles 6 160 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Despite having been composed in the years 1938-43 when Europe was ravaged by war, this work radiates peace and serenity. It marks the peak of the lyrical modalism of works such as the Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (1910), Flos Campi (1925), and Job (1931). Although it is not a programme symphony, it draws heavily on John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress for inspiration, featuring several themes that were sketched for (and eventually used in) Vaughan Williamsas 1951 opera. In addition, Bunyan's words 'He hath given me rest by his sorrow and life by his death' were originally inscribed over the third movement. This idea of strength drawn from religion must have been especially potent when Vaughan Williams conducted the premiere of the work at the Proms in 1943, during the dark days of the Second World War. The ending in particular has a sense of rising above all worldly concerns into a higher spiritual plane. This edition contains a preface on the history of the work by Michael Kennedy. Orchestral parts are available on hire.

Sigh No More, Ladies - from 'In Windsor Forest' (Sheet music, Vocal score): Ralph Vaughan Williams Sigh No More, Ladies - from 'In Windsor Forest' (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Ralph Vaughan Williams
R102 Discovery Miles 1 020 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SSA and piano or string orchestra or full orchestra This is an exuberant and animated chorus from the cantata In Windsor Forest, which was itself adapted from the opera Sir John in Love. The text is from Act II, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, and features the women's chorus gleefully denouncing men as 'deceivers'. The colourful orchestral accompaniment is available on hire in versions of full orchestra or string orchestra and piano.

The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune (Sheet music, Score and parts (3 trumpets, timpani, & organ)): Ralph Vaughan Williams The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune (Sheet music, Score and parts (3 trumpets, timpani, & organ))
Ralph Vaughan Williams; Arranged by Roy Douglas
R836 Discovery Miles 8 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB and orchestra or brass Vaughan Williams provided music for royal ceremonies several times during his long career; in the case of this arrangement the occasion was the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. It is a gloriously majestic setting of the hymn 'All people that on earth do dwell' with spectacular brass fanfares and opportunities for congregational singing. There are also calmer moments: verse 4, for example, borrows from John Dowland's setting of the psalm, harking back to the previous Elizabethan age. The work was given its first concert performance by the Halle Orchestra under Sir John Barbirolli in 1957, and a year later was sung at the composeras own funeral at Westminster Abbey.

Flourish (Sheet music, Score - wind band version): Ralph Vaughan Williams Flourish (Sheet music, Score - wind band version)
Ralph Vaughan Williams
R572 Discovery Miles 5 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This brief piece for wind band, composed in 1939 to open a pageant at the Royal Albert Hall, is simple but highly effective. It opens with a rousing brass fanfare, which gives way to a stirring, chorale-like passage in which the woodwind come to the fore, before giving way to the brass as the fanfare returns. Also available in versions for orchestral winds and brass band. Scores and parts are available on hire.

Prelude and Fugue in C minor (Sheet music): Ralph Vaughan Williams Prelude and Fugue in C minor (Sheet music)
Ralph Vaughan Williams
R330 Discovery Miles 3 300 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Vaughan Williams's Prelude and Fugue in C minor (1921) is characterized by a sense of drama and punctuated by bristling dissonances. The Prelude's ritornello-like alternation of chordal grandeur and rapid imitative sections recalls Bach's great organ Prelude and Fugue in the same key, while the rhythmically complicated Fugue, whose subject looks ahead to the composer's Sixth Symphony, displays great ingenuity in its counterpoint, fully justifying the assertiveness of its final peroration in C major.

Symphony No.6 in E Minor - Second Edition (Book, Study score): Ralph Vaughan Williams Symphony No.6 in E Minor - Second Edition (Book, Study score)
Ralph Vaughan Williams; Edited by David Lloyd Jones
R927 Discovery Miles 9 270 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.
