Go and listen to "The Lark Ascending". It is beautiful. |

Then the man has soul, I know that much. It's so nice listening to Mr. Williams after indulging my poor ears in lots of atonal and serialist music. |

I like it, but it's too long. If any lark took that long to ascend it would have been bagged by a passing bird of prey for sure. |

Vaughan Williams is a fun listen when you read about him. Most 'classical' music at that time was based on Germanic phrases. The timings of the melodies were based on the blunt german way of speaking. Vaughan moved his melodies into english timings, using the national anthem and regional timings. He evokes pride in me without the negativeness. |

haven't listened to this piece of music for a long time, perhaps worth digging out. |

oh, interesting! I know that Sibelius' melodies often start on downbeats, as the Finnish language typically places accents on the first word in a phrase. It's very interesting how language can have such an effect on something like that. :) |
