Description: As we know, Vaughan Williams collected a lot of folk songs in his earlier years but not a lot of them have been published. This disc full of rarities helps address the situation with collections, chronologically as listed above, from 1919, 1936 and 1920 although almost all of them were collected during the first decade of the century. Texts included. Derek Welton (baritone), Iain Burnside (piano).
