Norfolk Rhapsody No.1

More about the book

The book delves into Vaughan Williams' 'Norfolk Rhapsodies,' focusing on the historical context of their performances, particularly the first rhapsody's premiere in 1906 and its subsequent revisions. It highlights the poignant timing of the second and third rhapsodies' concert shortly after the Titanic disaster in 1912. This edition, newly engraved by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr., is based on the revised 1914 score, providing insights into the composer's evolving work and its significance in early 20th-century music.
