Vaughan Williams; Charterhouse Suite: Slow Air.

Ralph Vaughan Williams 1872 –1958 A famous English classical composer of orchestral and choral music. His works include operas, ballets, chamber music, secular and religious vocal pieces and orchestral compositions including nine symphonies, written over nearly fifty years. Strongly influenced by Tudor music and English folk-song, his output marked a decisive break in British music from its German-dominated style of the 19th century. In 1920 Vaughan Williams wrote a collection entitled Suite of Six Short Pieces for Piano. Later, musicologist James Brown, under the direction of the composer, arranged the set for string orchestra, after which the work was given the title of Charterhouse Suite and published in 1923. All six pieces are short, with the whole lasting about 13 or 14 minutes in performance. Vaughan Williams was generally not terribly successful in his piano compositions; his style was better suited to the orchestral realm, particularly to the string orchestra. Thus the decision to arrange this collection was a wise one, and most will find the Charterhouse Suite superior to the original version of the music for piano.
