extends a warm welcome to
all choral singers to this day’s
exploration of Ralph Vaughan
Williams’ A Sea Symphony.
RVW was only 30 when he began this piece
in 1903 and it is his first and longest symphony.
It premiered at the Leeds Festival in 1910, with
the composer conducting. It is one of the few
symphonies in which a choir is used throughout the
work and is an integral part of the musical texture.
With the planned combined choirs performance of
A Sea Symphony in Exeter Cathedral on November
25th, we welcome especially any singers from
Laurence’s other choirs.
