Description
Vaughan Williams's Symphony No. 7, Sinfonia Antartica, is a powerful and intense work that evokes the beauty and grandeur of the Antarctic landscape. Prepared by David Matthews with support from the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust, this new edition draws on music provided for the film Scott of the Antarctic in 1947, completed in 1952. The symphony features a large orchestra and percussion section, including a wind machine, to create a work of great power and intensity. This edition includes an introduction and textual commentary, published as a full score, study score, and women's chorus, with all performing material on hire. Suitable for conductors and musicians seeking a challenging and evocative work, this new edition provides a valuable resource for performance and study.
