Ralph Vaughan Williams
Portraits by Yousuf Karsh



Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958) . Composer, born in Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, SWC England, UK. He studied at Cambridge, London, Berlin, and Paris, but remained unaffected by continental European influence, and developed a national style of music deriving from English choral tradition, especially of the Tudor period, and folksong. Notable in his early orchestral music is the Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis (1910) for strings. He composed nine symphonies, the ballet Job (1930), the opera The Pilgrim's Progress (1948--9), and numerous choral works, songs, and hymns. He also wrote for the stage, as in his music for The Wasps (1909), and for films, such as Scott of the Antarctic (1948).
