Fantasia on Xmas Carols
Dec. 16th, 2014 11:56 amHere is another piece of Xmas music based on old folk songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams called Fantasia on Christmas Carols.
Fantasia on Christmas Carols is a 1912 work for baritone, chorus, and orchestra by the English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. First performed at the 1912 Three Choirs Festival at Hereford Cathedral, the work is a single movement of roughly twelve minutes which consists of the English folk carols "The truth sent from above", "Come all you worthy gentlemen" and "On Christmas night all Christians sing" (i.e. the Sussex Carol), all folk songs collected in southern England by Vaughan Williams and his friend Cecil Sharp a few years earlier.

Well, after hunting for the damn CD i sold, as i could not find my copy, (The Strokes) in Faversham , Whitstable and Rainham, i finally have a copy, but will have to send it off as a loss leader, because it cost me as much as the postage and what i sold it for!
At least the geezer who bought it from France will get it. C'est la vie!
