“In those vernal seasons of the year, when the air is calm and pleasant, it were an injury and sullenness against Nature not to go out, and see her riches, and partake in her rejoicing with heaven and earth.”
— John Milton (1644, Tractate of Education)

"Norfolk Rhapsody" Ralph Vaughan Williams | Harker School Orchestra
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.
We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
