H Fantasia on Christmas Carols—Ralph Vaughan
Williams. A fantasia in the truest sense, this choral
tapestry of English carols was composed in 1912
after Vaughan-Williams had completed the scores
for his first symphony (The Sea), and the Tallis
Fantasia. In this relatively short work for baritone
soloist, chorus and orchestra, we find the essence
of Vaughan Williams' style and compositional
mastery - hallmarks of a richly productive artistic
output that defined a nationalist movement in
music that continues to this day. Centered on
four traditional carols: The Truth Sent from Above;
Come All You Worthy Gentlemen; On Christmas
Night and There Is a Fountain, it also features
fragments of other well-known carol tunes.
