Vaughan Williams and Friends
REDERICK PAGE in a recent piano recital from 2YA chose three pieces of music which I can describe as "noble," Nobility has always seemed to me to be the strong quality of Vaughan Williams’s music, and when, as in the two of these pieces which were transcriptions of hymn tunes and chorales by Orlando Gibbons and Bach, the originals were majestic in style, the touches in the transcription which made them Vaughan Williams’s own added to their stately seriousness. The third composition of Williams’s was the "Lake in the Mountains,’ written,
I believe, for the film 49th Parallel. This interesting little work was worthy of the other two. This broadcast was an excellent example of good planning; its description in the printed programme, however, was less than adequate.
