Full Orchestra

I'm not normally a morning person but there's something very Vaughan Williams about rising before eight to feed the livestock (rabbits) on a bright shiny June day in the country.

I'd be clicking this post's "like" button, if it had one.

Thanks.

There's a fine four-CD set called "The Spirit of England" that includes Vaughan Williams, Butterworth, Elgar, and a number of the other composers of that era. I'm especially partial to the Butterworth.

I don't think I know Butterworth.

I'm very partial to a bit of V-W, though, or a bit of Elgar.

I like him a lot. Here's a taste. The photos of Darbyshire are beautiful (this is obviously not "A Shropshire Lad").

And here's a V-W that speaks to me.
