Well, having heard another fine piece of music from RVW in a reply to me by cmcmck here is that wonderful piece of music. Unbeknownst to me util now.

Ralph Vaughan Williams: Music for Maeterlinck's symbolist drama, "The Death of Tintagiles"

A synopsis of Maeterlinck's play:

The Queen, who possesses complete control over her servants and people, has killed most of Tintagiles family. Ygraine and Bellangère try to protect him, but he is captured by the Queen's servants and brought to her castle. Ygraine pursues them to the castle door. Tintagiles cries for help from behind the door, but Ygraine is unable to open it and he is murdered by the Queen.

That's a somewhat slower version of the Concerto Grosso than the one we have on CD which I think I prefer.

I will have to listen to this version later. Thanks.
