Ralph Vaughan Williams: Folk Songs Volume 2

Mary Bevan, Nicky Spence, Roderick Williams, William Vann & Thomas Gould

This second album has 19 tracks including 15 world premires. It includes Folk Songs collected from the Southern Appalachian Mountains by Maud Karpeles and Cecil Sharp in 1916-1918, arranged by Vaughan Williams with piano accompaniment in about 1938. Additionally, there are two English Folk Songs for Voice and Violin. A miscellany of English folk songs includes I Will Give my Love an Apple and concludes with a 'Farmyard Song' which is difficult to perform without collapsing in laughter. Once again, though Vaughan Williams is well known as a collector of folk songs, his own collection by no means predominates.
