Though the melodies are mostly of unknown origin, the harmonies are uniquely the work of Vaughan Williams. 11202219 String Orchestra . . MA 65.00 Fantasia on Greensleeves (What Child Is This?)—Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr. Deborah Baker Monday. Scored for strings, harp (keyboard) and two violin soloists, this ethereal setting retains the form and texture of the original while bringing it to a student-friendly level. Melodic material is passed effortlessly from one section to another, and only the first violin solo requires third position work. A rich setting of a classic masterwork. 10092446 String Orchestra . . . M 49.00 The First Celebration—arr. Jesselyn Joy Dudinsky.

M 65.00 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.

A fun piece for the more advanced orchestra. 11570788 String Orchestra . . MA 50.00 Happy Holiday/White Christmas—Irving Berlin/arr. Ted Ricketts.
