Title NameEnglish Folk Songs Suite for Orchestra, IRV 16
Marketing CopyRalph Vaughan Williams’ (1872-1958) ENGLISH FOLK SONGS SUITE, IRV 16, consists of three movements, the first two of which are based on the folk songs “Seventeen Come Sunday” and “My Bonny Boy”; the third adapts four songs from the Somerset region collected by Cecil Sharp. The ENGLISH FOLK SONGS SUITE quotes the Christmas carol “Dives and Lazarus”, which Vaughan Williams later published Five Variations of for harp and string orchestra. Gordon Jacob, a student of Vaughan Williams, arranged this version for orchestra. An earlier version of the ENGLISH FOLK SONG SUITES, written for military band, premiered at Kneller Hall in Twickenham, England in July 1923. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).1.2.1: 2.2.2.0: Timp:Perc(2-3): Str(9.8.7.6.5 in set). Reprint edition.
