Songs of the East Coast Fishermen (Grade 3 - Score Only)
Over a century ago, English composer Vaughan Williams visited Norfolk (an area on the east coast of England) to collect and notate folk songs from people of all trades and callings. Accompanied by a local clergyman, he visited the Tilden Smith, a pub that was a favorite haunt of “northenders” and local fishermen, and in less than a week the composer had notated 61 songs. Vaughan Williams incorporated the best of these songs into his own music, most notably
A Norfolk Rhapsody and
Sea Symphony. Philip Sparke has composed this new suite based on five of these folk songs together with
King's Lynn, a folk song which Vaughan Williams adapted into a popular hymn tune.
