Among these adaptations are Vaughan Williams's own transcriptions of J.S. Bach's works, including the 'Giant' Fugue and 'Schmücke dich' chorale, reflecting his admiration for Bach's music. The album contains poignant pieces like Nothing is here for tears, a sombre response to King George V's death, and Land of our birth, an homage to Britain's World War II victory.
Highlighting string arrangements including the seminal Silent Noon, arranged for strings by Owain Park, as well as world premieres, the album underscores Vaughan Williams's musical adaptations and their ties to British legacies.
