When a British friend asked what I knew of classic British composer, R. Vaughan Williams, I blinked. That would be … nothing. Although, as it turned out, when he fleet sent me a two-and-a-half-hour video to educate me, I did know more than nothing. I honest didn’t know that I knew. But as the documentary unfolded, my ear picked up a string of symphonies and a few sweeter melodies that I had known quite well. Only, shame on me, without giving due credit.

So this is R. Vaughan Williams. With radiant scenery that made me want to book a trace to the United Kingdom, but now, as backdrop, a kind of mix of biography and history and imagined perception (the composer’s) unfolded. This is the spot and time that formed the musician that created the music. Indeed, to know and watch all of this enriches opinion and appreciation of the music. Williams is often called a composer of folk melodies with a classical slant, but the documentary, interspersing soaring orchestras with crashing waves–the Sea Symphonies were easily my favorite–and plain war scenes and interview snippets with doddering, elderly British ladies, speaking of the composer’s bushy eyebrows and tormented marriage (he loved his wife, but soon after marriage, her failing health became a essential order), proves the point most eloquently that Williams is far more than folk tune composer. He is a composer on a tremendous scale. He has written scores for movies in his time, music that climbs mountains and builds suspense and melts into romance. He has level-headed symphonies that are complex and pleasing. He can write the sweet melody that resonates in your mind all day long, but he can also write the sweep of crashing symphony that shakes the listener to the core … as only mighty music can.
The video is long and highly detailed, but a visual treat as well as informative. I now know not only the music, but the man and the history tedious it. The British are welcome here.

Tony Palmer’s film biography of Vaughan Williams presents the composer as a complicated genius and obliging spirit who endured noteworthy frustration, disappointment, and tragedy in his life and expressed it in his music…a far scream from the accepted image of RVW as sentimental folk tune recycler. The anecdote is set aside forward using interviews and file voiceovers (most notably from RVW himself, his widow Ursula, and biographer Michael Kennedy, but including a wide, and sometimes surprising, group of talking heads) . Beautifully filmed and behind paced, the film helps confirm Vaughan Williams as one of Europe’s (not impartial England’s) greatest 20th century composers. Excerpts from musical performances–newly recorded as well as file footage–give strong implicit evidence that Vaughan Williams was also a huge symphonist. Palmer makes a mistake with the exhaust of graphic gradual 20th- and 21st-century war and famine footage in an attempt to reinforce his otherwise well-founded argument that RVW’s music is tragically pessimistic and relevant in the recent world; however, these few moments are only a little blemish on a highly successful and personal portrait. Highly recommended.
