arr.Palmer
for 2 speakers, soprano or treble soloist, chorus, and orchestra
This powerful and sensitive score contains material used in the later Morality by Vaughan Williams, and also quotes from the Tallis Fantasia. Bunyan's subject occupied a dominant role in Vaughan Williams' thinking, and this work reveals music of great originality, beauty, and spirituality.

Riders to the Sea
for 5 soloists, womens' chorus and orchestra
This one act opera, from a play by J.M. Synge, is the story of a family's lament for sons lost at sea off the Donegal coast. It's notable for the orchestral portraits of the sea and the wind, which ultimately lead to the Sinfonia Antartica, and many think it Vaughan Wililams's finest theatrical work.
