Ralph Vaughan Williams

Born: 1872. Died: 1958. Lived in: England

Composer, Conductor. He is considered the most important and influential British musician of his generation. Vaughan Williams' music displays a distinctly English character derived from his country's folk and Renaissance tradition, which he absorbed into a very personal style. His nine symphonies constitute one of the outstanding achievements of the 20th Century repertory. Ralph (pronounced "Rafe") Vaughan Williams was born at Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, the son of a clergyman. On his mother's side of the family he was related to Charles Darwin. He studied at the Royal College of Music and at Cambridge, followed by private instruction with Max Bruch in Berlin (1897). Despite his talent and training he was slow to develop as a artist because he had little sympathy for the Wagner-dominated musical scene of the time. While at the RCM in 1895 he formed a lifelong friendship with fellow student Gustav Holst, and the two tackled the problem of creating a new home-grown musical idiom. Vaughan Williams hit upon a solution through his discovery of old English folk and church music. From 1903 he gathered and published over 800 country tunes while also serving as editor of "The English Hymnal" (1904 to 1906), a collection of sacred vocal works from the 16th Century to the early 1900s. He contributed several original pieces to this set, in which he experimented with Elizabethan modal harmony within a modern framework.

Ralph Vaughan Williams : Vaughan Williams for Choirs Volume 1 : SATB : Songbook : 9780193532106

Ralph Vaughan Williams : Vaughan Williams for Choirs Volume 1

A leading British composer of the twentieth-century, Ralph Vaughan Williams was a lifelong exponent of choral music and singing. This two-part collection of new arrangements and editions features well-loved and lesser-known Vaughan Williams songs, anthems, and carols - for today's mixed-voice choir. It presents unison or treble pieces scored for SATB, creating new repertoire, and provides new accompaniment options and durations that widen the appeal of the pieces for church or concert use. The adaptations may introduce or give new light to the repertoire, yet are complementary to the original settings published as single pieces. John Leavitt, being an experienced conductor, composer, editor, and champion of Vaughan Williams, brings great sensitivity to this process, and knows how best to maximize rehearsal time with choirs of various types and sizes.

Songlist: The blessed son of God, No sad thought his soul affright, A Song of Thanksgiving, This is the truth, O taste and see, God rest you merry, gentlemen, O how amiable, He that is down need fear no fall, At the name of Jesus, Let us now praise famous men

Ralph Vaughan Williams : The Vagabond : TTBB : Sheet Music : 073999976045 : 48009642

Ralph Vaughan Williams : The Vagabond

The Vagabond is based on words written by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894). With their saucy praise of the life on the road and the freedom of nature, they are reminders of the ancient traditions of the wanderer. But the musical elaboration is far from being just simple and popular : Ralph Vaughan Williams employs refined means of composition, in order to realize varied colors and moods ; and he offers the voice the possibility to sing magnificent phrasing and to evoke strong emotional impact.

Ralph Vaughan Williams : Nine Carols For Male Voices

Vaughan Williams arranged these carols during World War 1 for the "choir" he developed among the men in his Field Ambulance unit. In 1917 they were stationed in Greece, near Katerini, on a hillside with Mount Olympus towering above. Ursula Vaughan Williams writes "Another experince, which no one who was there forgot, was carol singing on Christmas Eve: snow-capped Olympus, the clear night, the stars, and Ralph's choir singing carols of Hereford and Sussex with passionate nostaglia. The choir made that Christmas so far from home one that had a special quality, a special beauty, long remembered."

Ralph Vaughan Williams : Serenade to Music

Serenade to Music is sublime - one of the most stunningly beautiful musical creations of the 20th century. This choral meditation on the nature of music and its power to enrapture is a setting of text from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. This tender and much-loved work was composed in 1938 in honour of Sir Henry Wood. It was written for 16 soloists and orchestra but may also be sung by four soloists and chorus, or by mixed-voice chorus. This beautifully presented edition includes an introduction by Michael Kennedy.
Also available for full orchestra without choir.

Ralph Vaughan Williams : In Windsor Forest : SATB : Songbook : 9780193391215 : 9780193391215

Ralph Vaughan Williams : In Windsor Forest

This cantata was adapted by the composer from music from his opera Sir John in Love. Comprising five choral songs, it features texts by Shakespeare (from 'Much Ado About Nothing') and his near contemporaries Thomas Ravenscroft, John Lyly, and Thomas Campion. The first song is a gleeful denunciation of men and their devious ways, scored for women's voices, while the second is a rollicking drinking song for men's voices. The third maintains this energy, with sparkling orchestration to evoke the 'fairies' of its title, before the 'Wedding Chorus' changes the mood to one of blissful tranquillity. The Epilogue is celebratory and grand, bringing the cantata to a powerful close. All of the songs except the third are available individually.

Ralph Vaughan Williams : Magnificat : Upper Voices - 3 par : Songbook : 9780193391543 : 9780193391543

Ralph Vaughan Williams : Magnificat

This is an unusual setting of the text, in that after an ethereal opening, a contralto/mezzo-soprano soloist sings the Magnificat text while the female chorus interpolates with other texts in praise of the Virgin Mary. The contrast between the rhapsodic lines of the soloist and the more reflective emotions of the chorus result in a moving work.

Ralph Vaughan Williams : An Oxford Elegy : SATB : Songbook : 9780193392052 : 9780193392052

Ralph Vaughan Williams : An Oxford Elegy

An Oxford Elegy combines adapted versions of The Scholar Gypsy and Thyrsis by Victorian poet Matthew Arnold. It conveys the story of an Oxford scholar who abandons his friends and studies to live in the countryside surrounding the city as a gypsy. The work is unusual in the fact that the text is largely spoken by a narrator, with the chorus providing mostly wordless accompaniment. The result is a highly atmospheric and evocative work that combines pastoral simplicity with darker, more melancholic passages. Scores and parts for the string and chamber orchestra accompaniments are available on hire.

The words are taken from diverse sources, with sacred texts from the Vespers of Christmas Day and the Bible interspersed with secular texts by poets including John Milton, Thomas Hardy, and the composer's own wife Ursula Vaughan Williams.

The Hundredth Psalm (O Be Joyful in the Lord) : SATB : Ralph Vaughan Williams : Sheet Music : 1.5022

Ralph Vaughan Williams : The Hundredth Psalm (O Be Joyful in the Lord)

When this distinguished British composer was asked to write a short motet for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, he balked; remembering the musical over-pomposity of the 1937 affair. "If you can persuade the Archbishop to have a hymn in the Coronation serivce," he quipped to the organist of Westminster Abbey, "I'll make a mess-up of 'Old Hundredth.'" It has since become an all-time classic in church literature.

Ralph Vaughan Williams' setting of The Hundredth Psalm is for mixed chorus and orchestra. This is the keyboard/choral score. "O be joyful in the Lord all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song."

Two Songs of Winter : Unison : Ralph Vaughan Williams : Sheet Music : 9780193857612 : 9780193857612

Ralph Vaughan Williams : Two Songs of Winter

These two settings from the Winter section of Folk Songs of the Four Seasons are full of Christmas spirit. 'God bless the master' is a hymn-like setting of a folk song that Vaughan Williams collected in Hampshire in 1909, while 'Wassail Song' is full of joie de vivre. The latter evokes the merriness of wassailing, in which people went from door to door singing carols and exchanging mulled cider for gifts.
