This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom
Vaughan Williams wrote his Symphony No. 8 between 1953 and 1955 when he was in his eighties. It is his shortest symphony and is considered by many to be his least serious. Aside from a few sombre moments the symphony is optimistic in mood and displays Vaughan Williams's love for exotic and colourful combinations of instruments with a percussion sections that he said employs 'all the 'phones and 'spiels known to the composer'. For this newly engraved edition editor David Lloyd-Jones has consulted all extant sources and materials to create a score matching the composer's intentions.
