His works include operas, ballets, chamber music, secular and religious vocal pieces and orchestral compositions including nine symphonies, written over sixty years. Strongly influenced by Tudor music and English folk-song, his output marked a decisive break in British music from its German-dominated style of the 19th century.

One of Vaughan Williams’ earlier compositions, In the Fen Country is a beautiful, evocative orchestral tone poem, painting the bleak landscape of dense marshland. Despite this being one of his earlier works, the beginnings of his unique compositional style are already evident. The score effortlessly portrays wild open spaces in vivid technicolor an...
This beautiful piece for orchestra and cello is based on a surviving fragment of Vaughan Williams’ Cello Concerto (1942). The original concerto was never fully completed, and it is thanks to David Matthews, in collaboration with the RVW foundation, that we are able to experience this wonderful, elegiac work as a piece in its own right. In 2010 Dark...
Vaughan Williams was a master of reincarnation and often drew on the distant past for creative influence. Tallis was an English 16th-century composer, and the theme for Vaughan Williams’ Fantasiawas originally written for a setting of a Psalm, originally composed in 1567. Vaughan Williams ingeniously reimagines this theme as a piece for string orch...
Pilgrim’s Progress represents another dichotomy in Vaughan Williams: a self-proclaimed atheist with a deep and abiding interest in Christianity and sacred spirituality. Indeed, he referred to this work as a ‘morality’ rather than an opera: the libretto pairs a complex and compelling score with John Bunyan’s 1678 eponymous allegory, extracts from th...
Vaughan Williams’ love of folk music pervades every corner of his repertoire; in particular, English Folk Song Suite, one of his best works, is a celebration of folk heritage, including songs such as Seventeen Come Sunday, My Bonny Boy, and Folk Songs from Somerset. This charming suite was composed for a military band but is widely performed today ...
The nine symphonies of Ralph Vaughan William are all, in their own ways, standout pieces. The first symphony is a thick, glossy, score, jam-packed with the sumptuous, folk-inspired Vaughan Williams idiom we know and love but on an immense scale. The vast performing forces include full orchestra and mass chorus with individual soloists. Written afte...
The vocal works of Vaughan Williams are always particularly special. Five Mystical Songsfor baritone, chorus, and orchestra, are based on sacred poems by George Herbert. Each song has its own character and feel: ‘Easter’ is joyful and exultant, ‘I Got Me Flowers’ has a softer, more ethereal quality, whilst the final movements ‘The Call’ and ‘Antiph...
Again, the historic collides with the contemporary in Vaughan William’s stunning adaption of the famous tune ‘Greensleeves.’ Originally written for the opera Sir John in Love, but now performed as a concert piece in its own right, Vaughan Williams revives the style of Tudor polyphony he revered so much alongside the folk tunes ‘Greensleeves’ and ‘L...
An exquisite, poignant setting of the folk tune ‘Dives and Lazarus.’ The sweeping lyricism gently ebbs and flows with sensitive touches of modality and soft, clashes of remote tonalities, building to an eventual outpouring of unrestrained, unbounded emotion. Dives and Lazarus, one of the best Vaughan Williams works, was performed at the composer’s ...
Will any piece of music, ever again, come close to capturing an entire nation’s heart as The Lark Ascending? Vaughan Williams’ “pastoral romance” for solo violin and orchestra was voted the greatest piece of music in Classic FM’s Hall of Fame, the world’s biggest poll of classical music tastes, for a record eleventh time in 2021 – with its idyllic,...

ralph vaughan williams (1872-1958) Music In The Heart - A commemorative Album marking the 50th anniversary of the death of Ralph Vaughan Williams on 26th August 1958.
The British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams is considered one of the greatest symphonic composers of the 20th century. Nevertheless, his works are rarely on the repertoire of German concert halls. October 2022 marks the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth. Reason enough to dedicate a portrait to the all-rounder.
