Romance for Viola and Piano

By Ralph Vaughan Williams

This soulful piece was discovered among the composer's manuscripts upon his death in 1958 and published posthumously in 1962. As a result, little is known about it, though it may have been written for the great viola player Lionel Tetris, for whom he composed Flos Campi in 1925. The opening and closing 'Andante' sections are melancholic and expressive, while in the central 'poco animato' the piece grows in intensity and anguish. The viola part is edited by Bernard Shore and the piano part by Eric Gritton.
