Ralph-Vaughan-Williams - The Lark Ascending
Vaughan Williams Was Inspired By George Meredith's 122-Line Poem Of The Same Name About The Skylark. He Included This Portion Of Meredith's Poem On The Flyleaf Of The Published Work 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 Aerial Rings
In Light And Then The Fancy Sings. The Work Was Written In Two Versions Violin And Piano Written In 1914 And Violin And Orchestra Written In 1920. The Orchestral Version Is The One That Is Almost Always Heard Now. It Is One Of The Most Popular Pieces In The Classical Repertoire Among British Listeners. Vaughan Williams Sketched The Work While Watching Troop Ships Cross The English Channel At The Outbreak Of The First World War. A Small Boy Observed Him Making The Sketches And Thinking He Was Jotting Down A Secret Code Informed A Police Officer Who Subsequently Arrested The Composer. The War Halted His Compositional Activities But The Work Was Revised In 1920 With The Help Of The English Violinist Marie Hall During Their Stay At Kings Weston House Near Bristol. The Use Of Pentatonic Scale Patterns Frees The Violin From A Strong Tonal Centre And Shows The Impressionistic Side Of Vaughan Williams' Style. This Liberty Also Extends To The Metre The Cadenzas For Solo Violin Are Written Without Bar Lines Lending Them A Sense Of Meditational Release.

Vaughan Williams was inspired by George Meredith's 122-line poem of the same name about the skylark. He included this portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf of the published work:
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 aerial rings
In light, and then the fancy sings.
The work was written in two versions: violin and piano, written in 1914; and violin and orchestra, written in 1920. The orchestral version is the one that is almost always heard now. It is one of the most popular pieces in the Classical repertoire among British listeners.
Vaughan Williams sketched the work while watching troop ships cross the English Channel at the outbreak of the First World War. A small boy observed him making the sketches and, thinking he was jotting down a secret code, informed a police officer, who subsequently arrested the composer. The war halted his compositional activities, but the work was revised in 1920 with the help of the English violinist Marie Hall, during their stay at Kings Weston House near Bristol.
The use of pentatonic scale patterns frees the violin from a strong tonal centre, and shows the impressionistic side of Vaughan Williams' style. This liberty also extends to the metre; the cadenzas for solo violin are written without bar lines, lending them a sense of meditational release. Read more on Last.fm.
