HYMNS, CAROLS & SONGS BY RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

12 October 1872 Ralph Vaughan Williams was born 150 years ago in the village of Down Ampney in the Cotswolds. His earliest published works appeared at the turn of the 20th century (the song Linden Lea being among the first, as well as the cycle Songs of Travel a few years later).

'Bushes and Briars' was famously sung by Mr Potiphar to Ralph Vaughan Williams at Ingrave, Essex on December 4 1903, which RVW said 'set all my doubts about folk-song at rest'.
