Description
Vaughan Williams' Norfolk Rhapsody is a work of musical genius, composed in 1906. The piece was first performed on 23 August 1906, with a second performance taking place in Bournemouth on 21 May 1914. This newly engraved edition, edited by Richard Sargeant, is based on the revised 1914 score. The work's history is closely tied to a tragic event - the sinking of the Titanic just days after the second performance. The piece was performed at a concert in London's Queen's Hall on 17 April 1912, under the baton of Balfour Gardiner. The First Rhapsody has since become a beloved part of the classical music repertoire. This edition provides a unique opportunity to experience Vaughan Williams' masterpiece in its revised form, with the added historical context of its creation and performance.
