Household Music

[jazzy_dave]

Another dose of Ralph Vaughan Williams music. Well, in my estimation, it is the perfect medicine to an overcast dull morning, a prophylactic for the woes of the world.

Here is his less known Household Music.

These are three Preludes on Welsh Hymn tunes (1920).

No. 1. Crug-Y-Bar: Fantasia. Andante sostenuto
No. 2. St. Denio: Scherzo. Allegro vivace (Start at 4'.50'')
No. 3. Aberystwyth: Variations. Theme: Lento (Start at 8'.09'').

Played by The Northern Sinfonia conducted by Richard Hickox.

Enjoy.

That's lovely. I've always loved The Lark Ascending, but this is new to me.

I know this piece but this, the Dark Pastoral should be much better known than it is! It's part of an unfinished cello concerto and is just gorgeous!
