The Story

This study score marks the first publication of a previously little-known early work for chamber orchestra by Vaughan Williams. He started composing Harnham Down in 1904, completing the work in 1907. Over four decades later Vaughan Williams recalled the main theme of the work in his Oxford Elegy, which sets the Matthew Arnold poem (he Scholar Gypsy) that was prefaced in the original score to Harnham Down. The score has been edited by James Francis Brown and includes an introduction by the editor.
