Synopsis

Descripción Composed for Violin and Piano in 1914, and reworked for Violin and Orchestra in 1920, The Lark Ascending is on of Vaughan WilliamsŽs most enduringly popular works. A serene romance, the work takes its title from a poem by George Meredith. The ViolinŽs magical evocation of the larkŽs Žchirrup, whistle, slur and shakeŽ, as it soas above delicate orchestral textures, demonstrates the composerŽs mastery of the pastoral idiom. This new edition of the version for Violin and Piano includes an introduction by Michael Kennedy and is produced with the support of RVW Ltd.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Within it is nostalgia for the English countryside and for the fast disappearing habitat of this symbolic summer bird. OUP's spacious printing evokes its soaring flight. The beautiful cover features Samuel Palmer's painting, The Prospect which is in the Ashmolean Museum round the corner from OUP. Keep this inspirational cover on your music stand! (Mary Nemet, Stringendo, April 2010)

Biographie de l'auteur :

Vaughan Williams has come to be regarded as one of the finest British composers of the 20th century. He has a particularly wide-ranging catalogue of works, including choral works, symphonies, concerti, and opera. His searching and visionary imagination, combined with a flexibility in writing for all levels of music-making, has meant that his music is as popular today as it ever has been.
