5-0 out of 5 stars Splendid biography!
Written by his wife, Ursula, this is as authoratative as it gets. Filled with details, annecdotes, facts, histories and stories with a warmth that invites us to know and understand RVW as a person and as a composer.

I came to this book after reading many books about Gustav Holst. In doing so, I quickly learned of his friendship with RVW. The two were great friends. In this book, you get another perspective on that friendship and friendship with others. RVW was a kind, open, down-to-earth individual.

This is a remarakable biography about a remarkable human being. I'm glad he lived and wrote the music he shared with us all. This book helped me to understand the man and his times and his music. Highly recommended! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
This is the authoritative account of Vaughan Williams's musical life-- the story of a great composer's career, and at the same time the story of music in England for over half a century. Kennedy considers the principal works in chronological order, outlining the main features of each and discussing details of the music's structure, often illuminating his point with a musical quotation. He also provides a good deal of biographical data, and so builds up a picture of the composer, as well as providing thumbnail sketches of many of Vaughan Williams's friends and colleagues. Kennedy's extensive knowledge of Vaughan Williams's output also enables him to refer back and forth across the works to pick out lines of development and influence. Along with Michael Kennedy's new preface, the second edition includes a full classified list of Vaughan Williams's works. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars *The* standard study of Vaughan Williams's music.
I've known this book for over thirty years.Kennedy approachesVaughan Williams's catalogue both widely and deeply, with plenty ofmusical examples.Since I'm a Vaughan Williams headbanger, a book like this is my equivalent of hagiography.Kennedy assumes (correctly) that Vaughan Williams is one of the major composers of this century, and not just in England, and thus discusses works in a clear-eyed way, without special pleading, emotional ginger-up, or hysterical proselytizing.He gives us the musical "facts" of a work and shows, in purely compositional terms, why it's wonderful -- the most convincing argument of all.I've almost worn out my copy through reading and re-reading.When I listen to a Vaughan Williams work, I usually have the book handy.A classic of music writing.--Steve Schwartz ...

Product Description
This collection is filled with songs that tell of the pleasures and pains of love, the patterns of the countryside and the lives of ordinary people. Here are unfaithful soldiers, ghostly lovers, whalers on stormy seas, cuckolds and tricksters. By turns funny, plain-speaking and melancholic, these songs evoke a lost world and, with their melodies provided, record a vital musical tradition. Generations of inhabitants have helped shape the English countryside ? but it has profoundly shaped us too.It has provoked a huge variety of responses from artists, writers, musicians and people who live and work on the land ? as well as those who are travelling through it.English Journeys celebrates this long tradition with a series of twenty books on all aspects of the countryside, from stargazey pie and country churches, to man?s relationship with nature and songs celebrating the patterns of the countryside (as well as ghosts and love-struck soldiers). ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Quartet in C is in four movements with a total duration of about 25 minutes. The opening Allegro is Dvorák-ish in its lyricism, though there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. It is tempting to detect a hint of folk-song in the theme of the Andantino, played by the viola, but that may be stretching hindsight too far. The movement has a wistful melancholy that carries over into the following Intermezzo, a song-like episode containing some of the most virtuosic writing in the work.
The last movement is a theme and six variations with a fugal ending. The theme is ballad-like with a suggestion of 18th century elegance. Modality creeps into the second Adagio variation and there is rhythmic exhilaration in the succeeding Presto. What can be admired in this attractive quartet is its conciseness.
This String Quartet was his first major composition of any kind.

Product Description
Vaughan Williams' hauntingly beautiful The Lark Ascending is one of his most enduringly popular works. A serene romance, the work takes its title from a poem by George Meredith. The violin's magical evocation of the lark's 'chirrup, whistle, slur and shake', as it soars above delicate orchestral textures, demonstates the composer's mastery of the pastoral idiom.
This edition of the full score, with the parts freshly engraved and edited and available on hire, is produced in collaboration with RVW Ltd. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
The First Movement of Symphony No. 5 of Ralph Vaughan Williams is examined with respect to modal stratification or layers of modal strata defined in each of the principal orchestral parts. When examined with this perspective, this movement can be viewed in light of the concept of extended modal harmonies. Structural and functional pillars of modality lend cohesion to the overall textural fabric of the piece. This music can be described as a departure or, more accurately, another evolutionary branch from the extended tonal techniques of the time of Vaughan Williams, espoused by Schoenberg and the Second Viennese School. This work can therefore be classified as using a modal extended technique in the tradition of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Post-Romantics. Stratification of modal layers is found in five sections of the piece, and structural pillars, or hinges of modal coherence are found. These are graphically illustrated to reveal the formal structure of the piece. Hypotheses regarding the examined data (the notes) are made, from which conclusions about the compositional technique of Vaughan Williams and the structural cohesion and integrity of the piece are formed. ...
