opening. Though the melodies are mostly of

the work of Vaughan Williams.

Gloucestershire Wassail—arr. Philip
Clark. While the song is now usually called
the Glouster Wassail and was certainly
copied down from a Gloucestershire
resident by Ralph Vaughan Williams,
it existed in many versions in most of
the counties of southern England. The
wassail - a salutation of good health -
most likely developed from winter rituals
imploring the return of spring growth and
summer abundance. A fun piece for the
more advanced orchestra.
