First publication of the orchestral cycle Songs of Travel, setting poems of Robert Louis Stevenson. Three of the nine orchestrations are by the composer, dating from 1905; the remainder were scored by his assistant Roy Douglas in 1960, two years after the composer's death. Among the latter was the hitherto lost epilogue “I have trod the upward and the downward path.” In his memoir Working with Vaughan Williams Douglas wondered: “Should I score them in my own style (the answer was clearly no), in the style of the orchestrations he had made in 1905, or in the way he might have scored them in 1958 (which would have been vastly different)? The final result was a typically British compromise, but I took care to use in my scoring only those instruments which he had used in 1905.&rdquo.

Vaughan Williams traveled during 1903 to 1906, collecting folk songs first-hand from residents. Four of the fifteen titles he published for voice and piano in the original volume comprise Folk Songs from the Eastern Counties, including The Lost Lady Found, The Lark in the Morning, Bushes and Briars, and Ward, the Pirate. Scored for concert band exactly as they were first published, with much of the accompanying material also being drawn from RVW's harmonizations and stylistic interpretations. Experience these cherished authentic folk songs creatively complied for your concert band. (3:30) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
