Ralph Vaughan Williams
Toward the Unknown Region
Five Mystical Songs
Directed by David Thomas
Benjamin Cunningham piano
Andrew de Silva baritone
Winchester Music Club invites you to join us for a choral workshop followed by a run through performance exploring two of Vaughan Williams mini choral masterpieces. Composed in 1906, Toward the Unknown Region put Vaughan Williams on the map as a new and important voice in English music. It sets the words of the poem Darest thou now, O soul from Walt Whitmans Leaves of Grass. Five Mystical Songs, using a collection of poems by George Herbert, was composed over the next five years. The first four songs are quiet personal meditations with the final Antiphon a triumphant hymn of praise: Let all the world in every corner sing.
The workshop will be led by David Thomas, Master of Music Winchester College and Music Director of Winchester Music Club, accompanied on the piano by Benjamin Cunningham with Andrew de Silva baritone soloist.
