Vaughan Williams

Symphony No. 1, A Sea Symphony

Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 1 holds an important place in both the orchestral and choral repertoires. It is one of the first symphonies in which a choir is used throughout the work, which set the path for a new era of choral symphonies in English music. Influences of Elgar are clear, as well as those of his teachers at the Royal College of Music: Parry and Stanford. At the other end of the programme, another maritime work inspired by the words of Goethe (via a cantata of the same name by Beethoven). These two works frame a new piece by the British composer Joseph Phibbs which was commissioned by the Philharmonia and Anvil Arts in Basingstoke
