2022 marked the 150th anniversary of Vaughan Williams’ birth. To mark the occasion, the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society commissioned a new work from Ian Venables, one of Britain’s foremost composers and a master of song composition.

Venables has created a song cycle entitled “Portraits of a Mind,” for which he has chosen the same instrumentation (tenor, piano and string quartet) as for Vaughan Williams’ song cycle “On Wenlock Edge.”

The work presents a series of five portraits of Vaughan Williams by setting to music poets associated with him: George Meredith (The Lark Ascending); Ursula Vaughan Williams; Robert Louis Stevenson; Christina Rossetti; and Walt Whitman.
