SUMMARY:RSCM Lecture – From Hedgerow to Pew: Vaughan Williams and the English Hymnal
DESCRIPTION:\nAs we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Vaughan Williams, join the RSCM to find out more about his pivotal role in the formation of the English Hymnal.\n\n\n\nRVW revolutionised hymnody in early-20th century England. Initially against his better judgment, but later with all the fervour of a convert, the agnostic Vaughan Williams set about introducing folk song into the 1906 English Hymnal. \n\n\n\nThis revolutionary hymnal was the brainchild of Rev. Percy Dearmer, who wanted to rid the Anglican church of turgid 19th-century hymn tunes and felt that Vaughan Williams (then in his very early 30s) was the musician to help him. \n\n\n\nAfter the lengthy project had been concluded, Vaughan Williams admitted that his work on the English Hymnal had been ‘a better musical education than any amount of sonatas and fugues’. Crucially, it was tunes that Vaughan Williams discovered in the preparation of the English Hymnal that inspired the Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (1910), Dives & Lazarus (1939), and passages of the opera The Pilgrim’s Progress (1951).\n\n\n\nNote\n\n\n\nThere are two editions of this event: this online edition (£5), and an in-person option which takes place on Saturday 8 October from 11.00-12.15 BST (£10).\n
