Description
Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs is a setting of poems from George Herbert's 1633 collection. Composed between 1906 and 1911, it was premiered under the composer's direction at the Three Choirs Festival in Worcester in 1911. This newly engraved edition by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. presents a long-awaited companion to Vaughan Williams' outstanding vocal score. Prepared from the first edition full score issued in the early 20th century, this publication provides valuable insight into the composer's work. A useful resource for those interested in Vaughan Williams' music and George Herbert's poetry, Five Mystical Songs Study Score offers a unique opportunity to explore these two art forms together.
