Norfolk Rhapsody is inspired by English folk tunes, particularly from the Norfolk region, which Vaughan Williams collected himself. The piece is lyrical and evocative, capturing the pastoral beauty and maritime heritage of East Anglia. It features rich, sweeping string melodies and gentle woodwind passages, creating a reflective and nostalgic atmosphere. The work, originally conceived as a trilogy, survives only in its first rhapsody. Its folk-inspired themes and lush orchestration showcase Vaughan Williams’ ability to transform traditional melodies into expressive, symphonic music.
