Sarah the flute Vaughan Williams Folk Songs-7 July 2017-Leith Hill (30) RE: Vaughan Williams Folk Songs-7 July 2017-Leith Hill 22 Jun 17


I think many of the RVW orchestral tunes have to be adapted simply because many folk instruments are not fully chromatic. We thought about including some of the classical arrangements when putting our programme together but then realised it was going to be quite difficult for the folk instruments we had and if we used classical instruments eg piano, Boehm flute then it offered little over going to a full orchestral performance. So we decided that trying to perform the songs and tunes in a way that would appeal to both folk and classical genre audiences was the way to go
