    As they say, 'every picture tells a story', and while La Thangue's paintings are so evocative of English country life, the story of an English countryside now lost to us can be glimpsed in the nostalgic tones of RVW's music. Beautiful.

      Hi Malena, glad you enjoyed the video. I too like the oboe and feel it particularly suits this piece. The paintings hark back to a time when people lived in rhythm with nature and were more at one with it. Hope all is well with you. Best wishes.

    As much as I love English music, I confess to knowing very little of our Art heritage.
    HH La Thangue's work is really good and much valid. A love of Frederick Delius brought me to artist John Atkinson Grimshaw whom I equally admire. A great deal of English music is Romantic and Pastoral. We should treasure it more and fall back in love with it.

      On a visit to the Musee d'Orsay in Paris (where they charge you good money to enter, but then start herding you - sheeplike - to the exit 30-40 minutes before the official closing time!), we found they had a small room with a few British paintings, giving us to understand that they really did not rate. Needless to say, a ton of French paintings can be found in (typically free-of-charge) British art galleries.
      However, if pressed, the French are prepared to admit that Art Nouveau evolved out of the (British) Arts and Crafts Movement, as well as the Pre-Raphaelite painters, while the Impressionism they boast about also came from England.
      A part of the transfer process came as French painters fled the fighting in the Franco-Prussian war to spend time in southern England.
      [By the way we might also note that Paris Haute Couture in fashion was also started by a Brit from Lincolnshire - Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895)]
      [French composer Maurice Ravel was a teacher of Vaughan Williams, and he noted that the latter was the only pupil "that does not write my music"]
      Although La Thangue obviously has a French name, his dad Richard was also British-born (at Southwark) and any Frenchness is probably noted two generations further back]

    Hi David, I have long since college been in love with RVW, but I had mostly played " The Lark... and Five Dives... Greensleeves etc. I have heard selections from folk songs and sea songs, however could not name them. Thank you once again for expanding my listening pleasure and for taking the time to present perfect artwork in conjunction with wonderful music. Be well.😋

      Glad you enjoyed the video Deborah and that you're finding new things to listen to.
      One of my favourite pieces by Vaughan Williams is his adaptation for organ of the Welsh hymn tune Rhosymedre, (arranged for orchestra by Arnold Foster), which I've uploaded elsewhere on the channel. I just think it's a lovely tune.
      Best wishes.

    This melody is beyond description , inspirational , graceful and comfortable to the ear and the mind
    Without Vaughan Williams ,
    the English music would have been very lonely and insipid
    and the enjoyment and pleasures of the English music would have been less

      Thank you for your kind and understanding reply. I’m sorry to be negative about what are lovely pictures and I’m so grateful for your collections of fantastic music. It is difficult in a few words to convey one’s meaning. Music and art are so closely connected each giving deeper meaning to the other. This wonderful music speaks to me subjectively of beautiful English skies in early Spring and the flight of the swallow rather than of people and the earth. Keep up the good work, especially as Radio 3 is now largely finished. Philip

      @@philipgillibrand832 Hi Philip, and thank you for continuing to support the channel. There really is no need to be sorry for expressing an honest opinion though. Music is such a subjective thing that what we receive from it is inevitably at variance with what others do. And, doubtless, at variance with what the composer intended us to receive. Best wishes.

I was not thinking of Constable, but those artists of the impressionist school with a light etherial touch concentrating on sky scenes, perhaps in the Norfolk countryside, where the sky prevails over the land. Pathetic answer I know as I ought to name at least one. I’ll have a think! Thank you though for taking the time to respond. We are united by the greatest and only international language, music.
