Ralph Vaughan Williams, OM (1872–1958) was an influential English composer.… Read Full Bio ↴Ralph Vaughan Williams, OM (1872–1958) was an influential English composer.

Vaughan Williams was born on 12th October 1872 in Down Ampney, a village in the Cotswolds. After attending Charterhouse School and Trinity College, Cambridge, he became a student at the Royal College of Music; he later studied with Max Bruch in Berlin and Maurice Ravel in Paris.

He served as a lieutenant in World War I, having volunteered for the Field Ambulance Service; the appalling carnage affected him deeply, as did the deaths of close friends such as George Butterworth.

He wrote nine symphonies between 1910 and 1958, as well as numerous other works including chamber music, opera, choral music, and film scores. He was also one of the first serious collectors of English folk music and served as president of the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS). The Society's Vaughan Williams Memorial Library is named for him.

Vaughan Williams died on 26th August 1958, and his ashes are interred in Westminster Abbey.

Japan ， especially Tokyo is cruel and hustle and bustle with the Coronavirus infection problem .
In this spring , in Tokyo , all banquet under the cherry blossoms in full bloom having gorgeous Bento ， delicious foods ， treats and drinks with having singing ， eating and drinking is perfectly self - restraint .
It is a very pity that we just watch cherry blossoms in full bloom .
In the neighborhood of Tokyo , most of the cherry blossoms in full bloom have been scattered ,
After having been scattered , there are the lacking and pensive atmosphere .
The petals which are scattered , and fell cover all over the area and dyes it into pink .

How is your country ？
Tokyo has more than 100 infected people every day .
According to your the infected causes coughs that make them unable to breathe , causing the complete lose of taste and spiciness .
The outings of night , bar ,snack ， karaoke shop ， amusement shop ， pachinko shop ， Saturday and Sunday are self - restraint .
Just talking is infected .
Don't be careless
Be careful with Coronavirus infection .
Take care of yourself

Japanese people deeply love Vaughan Williams' works , especially 「the ascending lark 」
The plum blossoms are in full bloom everywhere in Japan with spring in sight
In mid-March ,
the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom one after another everywhere in Japan
「The Rite of Spring 」 peculiar to Japan begins ,
Also
the season of tired of pollinosis has arrived

In Japan
the pollinosis is a Japanese national sick

The banquet with eating various Bento, drinking , dancing and singing under the cherry blossoms in full bloom are beyond your imagination and beyond description
We want you to take part in Japanese spring banquet someday

30 or so years ago, we were planning a trip to the UK and wanted to see the sort of countryside which Vaughan Williams would have had in mind when composing the Lark Ascending. We were told to go to Norfolk and took the advice. Very glad that we did. Even after the decades of great change in English life, we could see and feel what had led to the composition of so much of Vaughan Williams' music.

river in the early morning mist, passing all the small estuary ports with the

creeping slowly back up river in the twilight winding through the reed beds.

This rhapsody is based on the tune folk song The Captain’s Apprentice, sung by James Duggie Carter to Ralph Vaughan Williams in Kings Lynn.

Good morning, whereever you may be +David Harris
One more moment, how sweet it is to come back to soak up so much light and serenity. This video is one of my favorites.

See, it reminds me of nature walks where it is so delicious to observe all the colors, all the details (and in these tables, they are so well represented) and then, in the same way, all these reflections of the water and animal populations that frequent the surroundings.

It is so soothing to fill your whole being with all these beautiful things that you would, most of the time, like to go alone to these places, (as a privileged moment) or unless you are accompanied by someone who appreciates to remain for long moments in silence - or if not to exchange glances of accomplice and smiling admiration - and to appreciate this enchanting setting, as a gift.

Thank you again for sharing this. And to wish you the best spring weekend and those who are with you.

Hi Lejay, I share your sentiment. I try to go out for a walk in the countryside every day and will often find myself staring at some aspect of nature in sheer wonderment.

Best wishes.

What amazes me in all these landscapes is that nature (unless perhaps, there is a foreign element or circumstances that have come to modify it) remains true to itself while evolving over time and this fact is quite reassuring.
It seems to me that we have never finished learning and / or discovering again and again. And this often brings me to think of the notion of infinity, that in fact nothing is ever really finished. And you what do you think?

At the age of 42 he volunteered for service in WW1 and drove ambulance wagons.

Please watch this at the lowest quality only (144p) since it's just for the music, which is much more ecologically responsible than at a higher rate. Watching this at 240p (which is unnecessary for listening purposes), will increase the bandwith by double to almost tenfold! At 1080 the bandwith is augmented by a factor of 100!

The use of digital technology accounts for 4% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, as much as the emissions from the world's truck fleet. Of that, a BIG part comes from livestreaming videos, mainly 3 sources : Youtube, Netflix and porn.

Thank you. Apparently some aren't aware of the incredible amounts of digital memory/storage used by actual physical machines [computers] Some think technology runs on air or something.

I appreciate your above advice and am implementing.

Would that everybody could care for doing their part to reduce resource consumption. Be well.

@@davidharris2844 Thank you for introducing me to the exquisite Pictures of Colin Burns that really capture the beautiful Norfolk Countryside. I often sit and enjoy dear old RVW’s wonderful Music that so clearly reflect in the Art.

@@peterjhillier7659 Thanks for your kind comment Peter. When I was putting these videos together it was always my intention to try and capture and complement the mood of the music with the paintings or photographs I used. It's nice to know that you feel I got it right on this occasion.

Amy Grant's "Praise to the Lord" riffs on this in it's intro. That was one of my Mom's favorites.

So happy I found your channel. Going through the catalogue after working doing portraiture listening to progressive Psy trance and Psy ambient electronic all day makes for a relaxing hour in bed coming back down to earth!!.
RVW, the master put to another fabulous artist.

. Thanks again.

Pleasure. We would seem to have similar musical tastes, although, I have to admit, I have no idea what Psy trance and Psy ambient are. More of a popster myself, with the odd bit of folky stuff thrown in. Still, you can't beat the likes of VW and Finzi.

@@davidharris2844 RVW and Finzi are in my eyes are the progressives of their time. Progressive Psy trance & Psy ambient are blade Runner/ 2049 esque by Hans Zimmer and vangellis two more merchants of progressive music.
