The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams arranged by Paul Drayton for Violin and mixed choir.This innovative and imaginative choral arrangement of The Lark Ascending has the original solo Violin part accompanied by mixed choir. It sensitively sets George Meredith's poem (on which the original orchestration is based) and combines this with wordless Vocal lines and Vocal solos preserving the texture and timeless effect of the original. Commissioned and premiered by the Swedish Chamber Choir the work has also been recorded by the Choir under the direction of Simon Phipps.
