23 St. 58 Min, 11 Sept 1872 Jahr - Ralph Vaughn Williams

Beschreibung:

One of the most important british composers of the century
He was one of the founders of the folk song movement, through it acts as more of a catalyst than a trademark of his music
Helped establish a style which has a distinct british sound
We can trace a growth from the Victorian era to the distinctly 20th century sound in his output
He also wrote church music, operas, film scores,and symphonies
He wrote most of his songs before 1930
Listen to “let beauty awake” and “On Wenlock Edge”
Think about what is similar in these compositions and what changes in style
Music examples:
“Bright is the ring of words” from the Songs of Travel
Incorporates qualities from all of the centuries - bel canto vocal line, more unexpected harmonies/key areas, chordal accomp writing that aligns with vocal line
