VAUGHAN WILLIAMS (arr. Gerigk) The Lark Ascending (15’)

The violin soars melodiously above the rest of the string quartet in the gorgeous, pared-back arrangement of Vaughan Williams’s most popular work The Lark Ascending, which concludes this concert featuring English music for oboe and strings.

Fantasy is a thread – from the Baroque gems of Purcell’s Three-part Fantasias (arranged for string trio) to Imogen Holst’s Phantasy String Quartet and Britten’s Phantasy Quartet, a dazzling early work that sees the oboe in playful, exuberant dialogue with the strings.
