Romance for Viola and Piano
Oxford University Press
978-0-19-359271-1 (ISBN)
This soulful piece was discovered among the composer's manuscripts upon his death in 1958 and published posthumously in 1962. As a result, little is known about it, though it may have been written for the great viola player Lionel Tetris, for whom he composed Flos Campi in 1925. The opening and closing 'Andante' sections are melancholic and expressive, while in the central 'poco animato' the piece grows in intensity and anguish. The viola part is edited by Bernard Shore and the piano part by Eric Gritton.
Ralph Vaughan Williams, born in Gloucestershire on 12 October 1872, read History at Cambridge and went to the Royal College of Music where his teachers were Parry, Wood, and Stanford. Vaughan Williams believed in the value of music education and wrote practical competition pieces, serviceable church music, and with the 49th Parallel (1940-41) he found a new outlet in writing for film. His profoundly disturbing Symphony No.6 (1948) received international acclaim with more than a hundred performances in a little over two years. His great sensitivity to the 20th-century human condition, his flexibility in writing for all levels of music making, and his unquestionably great imagination combine to make him one of the key figures in 20th century music. Ralph Vaughan Williams had a long association with Oxford University Press; over 200 publications are available in the Oxford catalogue.
