A Serenade to Music

Album by Ralph Vaughan Williams & Edward Elgar & Benjamin Britten & The New York Virtuosi Chamber Symphony & Kenneth Klein

A Serenade to Music is a choral composition by the English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, composed and first performed in 1938. The work sets a passage from Shakespeare for a group of soloists and mixed chorus with orchestra, combining lyrical vocal lines, modal harmony and pastoral orchestral textures, and occupies a distinctive place in Vaughan Williams's late-1930s output as a compact, text-driven choral piece.
