George Herbert

Five Mystical Songs - Vocal Score George Herbert

Vaughan Williams' setting of poems from George Herbert's 1633 collection, "The Temple: Sacred Poems" was done between 1906 and 1911. The premiere was given under the composer's direction on September 14, 1911 at the Three Choirs Festival in Worcester. This new edition of the vocal score by Richard Sargeant has been prepared with chorus' needs in mind. The layout is vastly improved over the original 1911 score, with the vocal staves at full size while the piano reduction is produced in smaller type. Printed in a convenient, easy to hold size which fits comfortably in any choir folder - and enables the lowest priced score on the market.
