The
hymn tune Rhosymedre
is the work of the
nineteenth-century
Anglican priest John
David Edwards, who named
it after the village of
Rhosymedre in North
Wales, where he served as
the vicar for 43 years
until his death in 1885.
Vaughan Williams's organ
prelude has been arranged
for many different
instrumental groups,
including orchestra,
string quartet and brass
quintet, but not until
now for brass band. This
arrangement was prepared
in 2008 to mark the 50th
anniversary of the
composer's death and was
first performed by the
Royal Northern College of
Music Brass Band at the
2008 RNCM Festival of
Brass, conducted by
Christopher Houlding.
