Folksong Sketches

Folksong Sketches
from Six Studies in English Folksong

Ralph Vaughan Williams
Arranged by Deborah Baker Monday

Deborah Baker Monday has created a delightful arrangement of two of the sections from the Ralph Vaughan Williams Six Studies in English Folksong. Originally composed for Cello and Piano, over the course of time the composer transcribed the music for a variety of instruments, so many people will be familiar with the melodies. Included is the flowing Spurn Point and the energetic As I Walked Over London Bridge. (1:53)

What Lies Beyond

What Lies Beyond

Steve Parsons

The tempo marking that composer Steve Parsons uses with this piece is “Expressively, with drive” which may at first seem like a contradiction but once you hear the hauntingly beautiful theme surrounded by the magical moving lines you will understand. There are several dramatic moments in the composition and the ebb and flow of the music lends itself to flexibility with the tempo while maintaining the forward motion. (3:00)
