Vaughan Williams, Ralph / Nourse, Nancy

With simple rhythms of half, dotted whole and whole notes, a basically step-wise melodic design, a harmonic realization without a single momentary modulation, and a metrical index of 6.6..6.6.8.8.8, the tune Rhosymedre (from Three Preludes founded on Welsh Hymn Tunes) offers peace and serenity. To this, Vaughan Williams has ingeniously added a beautiful obbligato and a punctuating bass line that introduce, conclude and weave magically between the two verses of the Rhosymedre tune.
