  • Copyright 2014 Renée Chérie Clark
    Copyright 2014 Renée Chérie Clark ASPECTS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE ART SONGS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS BEFORE THE GREAT WAR BY RENÉE CHÉRIE CLARK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Christina Bashford, Chair Associate Professor Gayle Sherwood Magee Professor Emeritus Herbert Kellman Professor Emeritus Chester L. Alwes ABSTRACT This dissertation explores how the art songs of English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) composed before the Great War expressed the composer’s vision of “Englishness” or “English national identity”. These terms can be defined as the popular national consciousness of the English people. It is something that demands continual reassessment because it is constantly changing. Thus, this study takes into account two key areas of investigation. The first comprises the poets and texts set by the composer during the time in question. The second consists of an exploration of the cultural history of British and specifically English ideas surrounding pastoralism, ruralism, the trope of wandering in the countryside, and the rural landscape as an escape from the city. This dissertation unfolds as follows. The Introduction surveys the literature on Vaughan Williams and his songs in particular on the one hand, and on the other it surveys a necessarily selective portion of the vast literature of English national identity. The introduction also explains the methodology applied in the following chapters in analyzing the music as readings of texts. The remaining chapters progress in the chronological order of Vaughan Williams’s career as a composer.

  • Birds of Britain 2019
    Field Guides Tour Report Birds of Britain 2019 May 11, 2019 to May 20, 2019 Megan Edwards Crewe & Willy Perez For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Endearing European Robins were a regular sighting throughout the tour. Photo by participant Jeanette Shores. After a long hiatus, we reintroduced the Birds of Britain tour to our schedule this year, with tweaks to the old itinerary to include some new locations and a few cultural highlights. England pulled out all the stops for our visit -- giving us gorgeous azure skies and balmy days for much of our stay, and offering up a raft of surprises among the more expected breeding species. Scotland proved a bit more chilly and temperamental, dumping rain on us on several mornings, but tempering that with some spectacular views and a sunny finale as well as some distinctly "highland" sightings. We started with a 10-day exploration of East Anglia, venturing from the coastal reserves of RSPB Minsmere and RSPB Titchwell, and the remnant heathlands of Dunwich and Westleton, to the vast, flat Norfolk broads, the farm fields along Chalkpit Lane and the grand estates of Felbrigg, Blickling and Lynford (the latter's arboretum now part of Thetford Forest). We reveled in repeated encounters with many of "the regulars" -- breeding species such as European Robin, Song Thrush, Dunnock, Eurasian Blackbird, Chiffchaff, Sedge Warbler, House Martin, and multiple species of tits. Remember the line of eight just-fledged Long-tailed Tits huddled together on a branch, waiting for their parents to return with tidbits? We also had close encounters with some less common breeders.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Ralph Vaughan Williams the Lark Ascending
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Ralph Vaughan Williams Born October 12, 1872, Gloucestershire, England. Died August 26, 1958, London, England. The Lark Ascending, Romance for Violin and Orchestra Vaughan Williams composed this work for violin and piano in 1914. He thoroughly revised the score in 1919–20. The first performance, in a version with piano accompaniment, was given on December 15, 1920, and the premiere of the version for violin and orchestra was given on June 14, 1921, in London. The orchestra consists of two flutes, oboe, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, triangle, and strings. Performance time is approximately thirteen minutes. These are the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first performances of Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending. From the beginning of his career, in the first years of the twentieth century, Ralph Vaughan Williams was seen as a composer rooted in the past. His first significant large-scale work, the Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis composed in 1910, is indebted to the music of his sixteenth-century predecessor and to the great English tradition. His entire upbringing was steeped in tradition—he was related both to the pottery Wedgwoods and Charles Darwin. (“The Bible says that God made the world in six days,” his mother told him. “Great Uncle Charles thinks it took longer: but we need not worry about it, for it is equally wonderful either way.”) He became a serious student of English folk song and edited the English Hymnal. Even the experience of studying with Ravel in 1908, which clearly enhanced his understanding of color and sonority, only served to sharpen his own individual style and to ground him more firmly in the sensibilities of his musical heritage.

  • Harmony, Tonality and Structure in Vaughan Williams's Music
    Harmony, Tonality and Structure in Vaughan Williams's Music Volume 1 David Manning A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor of the University of Wales, Cardiff December 2003 Summary Many elements of and reflections on tonality are to be found in Vaughan Williams’s music: tonal centres are established and sustained, consonant triads are pervasive, and sonata form (a structure associated with tonality) is influential in the symphonies. But elements of the tonal system are also challenged: the diatonic scale is modified by modal alterations which affect the hierarchical relation of scale degrees, often consonant triads are not arranged according to the familiar patterns of functional harmony, and the closure of sonata form is compromised by the evasive epilogue ending of many movements and rotational structures. This music is not tonal or atonal, nor does it stand on any historical path between these two thoroughly theorised principles of pitch organisation. With no obvious single theoretical model at hand through which to explore Vaughan Williams’s music, this analysis engages with Schenkerian principles, Neo-Riemannian theory, and the idea of sonata deformation, interpreting selected extracts from various works in detail. Elements of coherence and local unities are proposed, yet disruptions, ambiguities, subversions, and distancing frames all feature at different stages. These are a challenge to the specific principle of organisation in question; sometimes they also raise concerns for the engagement of theory with this repertoire in general. At such points, meta-theoretical issues arise, while the overall focus remains on the analytical understanding of Vaughan Williams’s music.

  • Vaughan Williams – the Lark Ascending
    SECONDARY 10 PIECES PLUS! THE LARK ASCENDING by VAUGHAN WILLIAMS TEACHER PAGES THE LARK ASCENDING BY RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3l2p7df6Yhg8dRp20Hp85VG/ten-pieces-secondary CONTEXT The Lark Ascending – A Romance for Violin and Orchestra - was originally composed in 1914 for violin and piano and then orchestrated in 1921. It was inspired by an eponymous poem by George Meredith (1881) and evokes the vision of a lark floating freely in the sky on a peaceful summer’s day. These lines are inscribed in the score: He rises and begins to round, He drops the silver chain of sound Of many links without a break, In chirrup, whistle, slur and shake... For singing till his heaven fills, ’Tis love of earth that he instils, And ever winging up and up, Our valley is his golden cup, And he the wine which overflows To lift us with him as he goes... Till lost on his aërial rings In light, and then the fancy sings. The music is gentle and lyrical, reflecting an idyllic and calm scene in the English countryside in the period just before war broke out in Europe. The ‘sweet’ and reassuring mood is typical of much of Vaughan William’s ‘pastoral’ style which grew out of his interest in traditional music and reflected his national roots: this resonated with a movement pioneered by Cecil Sharp, who collected folk songs and established an archive of indigenous English music. The scales and modes present in folk songs shaped Vaughan Williams’ melodies and harmonies, giving his music the characteristic sound which pervades The Lark Ascending.
