Ralf Vaughan Uilyams - Ralph Vaughan Williams

Vaughan Uilyams v. 1920 yil

Ralf Vaughan Uilyams OM (/reɪfvɔːn/ (tinglang);^{[n 1]} 12 oktyabr 1872 yil - 1958 yil 26-avgust) ingliz bastakori. Uning asarlari oltmish yil davomida yozilgan operalar, baletlar, kamerali musiqa, dunyoviy va diniy vokal asarlari va orkestr kompozitsiyalarini, shu jumladan to'qqizta simfoniyani o'z ichiga oladi. Kuchli ta'sirlangan Tudor musiqasi va Ingliz folk qo'shig'i, uning chiqishi Britaniya musiqasida 19-asrning nemislar hukmronlik qilgan uslubidan hal qiluvchi tanaffus bo'ldi.

Von Uilyams badavlat oilada dunyoga kelgan, axloqiy qarashlari va ijtimoiy hayoti ilg'or. U butun hayoti davomida o'z vatandoshlariga xizmat ko'rsatishga intildi va musiqani iloji boricha barchaga taqdim etishiga ishondi. U havaskorlar va talabalar ijrosi uchun ko'plab asarlar yozgan. U musiqiy jihatdan kech ishlab chiquvchi edi, o'ttizinchi yillarning oxiriga qadar o'zining haqiqiy ovozini topa olmadi; uning 1907-1908 yillarda frantsuz bastakori bilan o'qishi Moris Ravel unga musiqasining to'qimalarini aniqlab olishga va uni ozod qilishga yordam berdi Tevtonik ta'sir.

Von Uilyams britaniyalik eng taniqli simfonistlar qatoriga kiradi, u o'zining bo'ron va g'ayratidan tortib xotirjamigacha, sirli dan quvnoqgacha bo'lgan juda keng kayfiyatlari bilan ajralib turadi. Uning boshqa kontsert asarlari orasida eng taniqli Tomas Tallis tomonidan mavzudagi fantaziya (1910) va Ko'tarilish Lark (1914). Uning vokal asarlari orasida madhiyalar, folklor qo'shiqlari va keng ko'lamli xor asarlari mavjud. 1919-1951 yillarda sahna ijrosi uchun sakkizta asar yozgan. Garchi uning bironta operasi mashhur repertuar qismiga aylanmagan bo'lsa-da, uning baleti Ish: Raqslar uchun maska (1930) muvaffaqiyatli bo'ldi va tez-tez sahnalashtirildi.

Vaughan Uilyamsning shaxsiy hayotida ikkita epizod katta taassurot qoldirdi. The Birinchi jahon urushi, u armiyada xizmat qilgan, doimiy hissiy ta'sir ko'rsatgan. Yigirma yil o'tib, garchi oltmish yoshga kirgan va sadoqatli turmush qurgan bo'lsa-da, keyinchalik uning ikkinchi rafiqasi bo'lgan ancha yoshroq ayol bilan bo'lgan sevgi munosabatlari uni qayta tikladi. U yetmishinchi va saksoninchi yillarda kompozitsiyani davom ettirdi, sakson besh yoshida vafotidan bir necha oy oldin so'nggi simfoniyasini yaratdi. Uning asarlari Britaniyaning konsert repertuarining asosiy qismi bo'lib kelmoqda va uning barcha asosiy asarlari va kichik asarlari yozib olingan.

Hayot va martaba

Dastlabki yillar

Vaughan Uilyams tug'ilgan Past Ampney, Gloucestershire, ning uchinchi farzandi va kenja o'g'li vikar, muhtaram Artur Von Uilyams (1834–1875) va uning rafiqasi Margaret, nee Wedgvud (1842-1937).^{[2][n 2]} Uning otalik ajdodlari kelib chiqishi ingliz va uelsliklardan kelib chiqqan; ularning ko'plari qonunga kirgan yoki Cherkov. Hakamlar Ser Edvard va Ser Roland Vaughan Uilyams Arturning otasi va akasi edi.^[4] Margaret Von Uilyamsning nabirasi edi Josiya Uedvud va jiyani Charlz Darvin.^{[n 3]}

Leith Hill joyi, Surrey, Vaughan Uilyamsning bolalik uyi

Artur Vaughan Uilyams 1875 yil fevral oyida to'satdan vafot etdi va uning bevasi bolalarni o'zlarining oilaviy uyi Leith Hill Place-da yashashga olib ketdi. Votton, Surrey.^[5] Bolalar hamshira Sara Vagerning qaramog'ida edilar, u ularga nafaqat odob-axloq va yaxshi xulq-atvorni, balki liberal ijtimoiy va falsafiy fikrlarni ham singdirgan.^[6] Bunday qarashlar oilaning har ikki tomonining ilg'or odatlariga mos edi. Yosh Von Uilyams onasidan Darvinning munozarali kitobi haqida so'raganda Turlarning kelib chiqishi to'g'risida U javob berdi: "Muqaddas Kitobda Xudo dunyoni olti kunda yaratgan, deb aytilgan. Buyuk Charlz amaki bu ko'proq vaqtni talab qiladi deb o'ylaydi, lekin biz bu haqda tashvishlanmasligimiz kerak, chunki bu har ikkala yo'l ham bir xil darajada ajoyibdir".^[7]

1878 yilda, Vughan Uilyams besh yoshida, ammasi Sophy Vedgvuddan fortepyanodan saboq ola boshladi. U xuddi shu yili musiqiy iste'dod belgilarini namoyon etib, o'zining birinchi musiqiy asari - to'rt barli "Robin uyasi" deb nomlangan pianino asarini yaratdi. U fortepianoni unchalik yoqtirmasdi va keyingi yil skripka darslarini boshlashdan mamnun edi.^[5][8] 1880 yilda, sakkiz yoshida, u musiqa bo'yicha sirtqi kursda o'qigan Edinburg universiteti va tegishli imtihonlardan muvaffaqiyatli o'tdilar.^[8]

1883 yil sentyabrda u Field House-ga pansionat sifatida bordi tayyorlov maktabi yilda Rottingdean Votondan qirq chaqirim uzoqlikda, Angliyaning janubiy sohilida. U umuman shod edi, garchi u birinchi marta boshqa shogirdlari orasida tarqalgan ijtimoiy shafqatsizlik va siyosiy konservatizmga duch kelgan bo'lsa.^[9] U erdan u ko'chib o'tdi davlat maktabi Xonadon 1887 yil yanvarda. Uning akademik va sportdagi yutuqlari qoniqarli edi va maktab uning musiqiy rivojlanishiga turtki berdi.^[10] 1888 yilda u maktab zalida kontsert uyushtirdi, unda bastakor bilan skripkachi sifatida o'zining asosiy pianino triosining (hozir yo'qolgan) ijrosi namoyish etildi.^[5]

Vater Uilyams Charterhouse-da bo'lganida, din uning uchun borgan sari kamroq ma'noni anglatishini va bir muncha vaqt u an ateist. Bu "quvnoq" bo'lib yumshadi agnostitsizm ",^[11] va u oilani xafa qilmaslik uchun cherkovga muntazam ravishda borishni davom ettirdi. Uning din haqidagi qarashlari uning sevgisiga ta'sir qilmadi Injilning vakolatli versiyasi, uning go'zalligi, so'zlari bilan aytganda Ursula Vaughan Uilyams bastakorning 1964 yilgi biografiyasida "uning hayotdagi muhim do'stlaridan biri" bo'lib qoldi.^[11] Bu erda, hayotidagi boshqa narsalarda bo'lgani kabi, u ham o'zining biografiga ko'ra edi Maykl Kennedi, "bu inglizcha mahsulot, tabiiyki, mos kelmaydigan va eng yaxshi an'ana uchun konservativ munosabatdir".^[12]

Qirollik musiqiy kolleji va Trinity kolleji, Kembrij

Xubert Parri Vaughan Williamsning birinchi kompozitsiya o'qituvchisi Qirollik musiqa kolleji

1890 yil iyulda Vaughan Uilyams Charterhouse-ni tark etdi va sentyabr oyida u talaba sifatida ro'yxatdan o'tdi Qirollik musiqa kolleji (RCM), London. Majburiy kursdan so'ng Garmoniya bilan Frensis Edvard Gladstoun, organ, qarshi nuqta va uyg'unlik professori, u organni o'rgangan Valter Parratt va tarkibi Xubert Parri. U Parrini but qildi,^[13] va uni esladi Musiqiy tarjimai hol (1950):

Parri menga bir marta: "Xor musiqasini ingliz va demokratga yarasha yozing", deb aytgan edi. Biz Parri o'quvchilari, agar dono bo'lsak, undan buyuk ingliz xor an'analarini meros qilib oldik Tallis o'tdi Bird, Byrd to Gibbonlar, Gibbonlar Purcell, Purcell-ga Battishill va Yashil Va ular o'z navbatida Uesli orqali Parriga. U mash'alani bizga topshirdi va uni baland tutish bizning burchimizdir.^[14]

Vaughan Uilyamsning oilasi uni Charterxausda yana ikki yil qolishini va keyin davom etishini afzal ko'rishgan Kembrij universiteti. Ular uning musiqiy karerasini boshlash uchun etarlicha iste'dodli ekanligiga amin emas edilar, ammo unga urinishlariga to'sqinlik qilish noto'g'ri ekanligini his qilishdi, ular RCMga borishga ruxsat berishdi.^{[n 4]} Shunga qaramay, undan universitet ta'limi kutilgan edi va 1892 yilda u RCMdan vaqtincha chiqib ketdi Trinity kolleji, Kembrij, u erda uch yil musiqa va tarixni o'rgangan.^[5]

Vaughan Williams bilan Kembrijda do'stona munosabatda bo'lganlar orasida faylasuflar ham bor edi G. E. Mur va Bertran Rassel, tarixchi G. M. Trevelyan va musiqachi Xyu Allen.^[2][16] U ba'zi sheriklari tomonidan intellektual soya ostida qolganini his qildi, lekin u ulardan ko'p narsalarni o'rganib chiqdi va bir nechtasi bilan umrbod do'stlik qildi.^[17] U Kembrijda ijtimoiy jihatdan aralashgan ayollar orasida Adeline Fisherning qizi bo'lgan Gerbert Fisher Vaughan Uilyams oilasining eski do'sti. Va Vaan Uilyams bilan yaqinlashishdi va 1897 yil iyun oyida, u Kembrijdan ketganidan keyin, ular turmush qurishdi.^{[18][n 5]}

Charlz Villiers Stenford, Vaughan Uilyamsning RCMdagi ikkinchi kompozitsiya o'qituvchisi

Kembrijda bo'lgan vaqtida Vogan Uilyams Parri bilan haftalik darslarini davom ettirdi va kompozitsiyani o'rgandi Charlz Vud va organ bilan Alan Grey. Sifatida tugatgan Musiqa bakalavri 1894 yilda va San'at bakalavri keyingi yil.^[5] Universitetni tark etib, u RCM-da o'qishni yakunlash uchun qaytib keldi. Parri o'sha paytgacha muvaffaqiyatga erishdi Ser Jorj Grove kollej direktori sifatida va Von Uilyamsning kompozitsiya bo'yicha yangi professori bo'lgan Charlz Villiers Stenford. O'qituvchi va talaba o'rtasidagi munosabatlar bo'ronli, ammo mehribon edi. Yoshligida avantyurist bo'lgan Stenford chuqur konservativ bo'lib qoldi; u zamonaviy fikrlaydigan o'quvchisi bilan qattiq to'qnashdi. Vaughan Uilyams Stenfordning butlari an'analariga amal qilishni xohlamadi, Braxlar va Vagner va u ozgina o'quvchi qilishga jur'at etganda u ustoziga qarshi turdi.^[20] Stenfordning zo'ravonligi ostida Vaughan Uilyamsning iste'dodi va yigitga o'zining shaffof bo'lmagan orkestrini va o'ta moyilligini to'g'rilashda yordam berish istagi bor edi. modal musiqa.^[21]

RCM-dagi ikkinchi sehrida (1895–1896) Vaughan Uilyams bir talaba bilan tanishdi, Gustav Xolst, u umrbod do'st bo'lib qoldi. Stenford shogirdlarining o'zini tanqid qilishlari kerakligini ta'kidladi, ammo Vogan Uilyams va Xolst bir-birlarining eng qadrli tanqidchilari bo'lishdi va qolishdi; har biri o'zining so'nggi asarini boshqasida ijro etishda davom etar edi. Vaughan Uilyams keyinchalik shunday degan: "Haqiqatan ham akademiya yoki kollejdan o'rganadigan narsa rasmiy o'qituvchilardan emas, balki boshqa talabalardan iborat ... [biz quyosh ostidagi har qanday mavzuni dublyonning eng past notasidan tortib to falsafasi Yahudo Obscure ".^[22] 1949 yilda u ularning munosabatlari haqida shunday yozgan edi: "Xolst musiqasida do'stining musiqasi ta'sir qilganligini aytdi: bu suhbat haqiqatan ham to'g'ri".^[23]

Erta martaba

Vaughan Uilyams mo''tadil shaxsiy daromadga ega edi, u o'zining dastlabki karerasida turli xil musiqiy tadbirlar bilan to'ldirdi. Ushbu organ uning afzal ko'rgan vositasi bo'lmasa-da,^{[n 6]} u yillik maosh uchun ishlagan yagona lavozim cherkov organisti va xormeyster bo'lgan. U lavozimni janubning ichki London tumanidagi St Barnabada egallagan Lambet, 1895 yildan 1899 yilgacha yiliga 50 funt maosh olish uchun. U bu ishni yoqtirmasdi, lekin xor bilan yaqin hamkorlik qilish uning keyingi faoliyati uchun qimmatli tajriba edi.^[24]

Vaughan Uilyams yashagan Cheyne Walk, "Chelsi" 1905 yildan 1929 yilgacha

1897 yil oktyabrda Adelin va Von Uilyams turmushga chiqdilar. Ular u bilan birga o'qigan Berlinda bir necha oy asal oyini o'tkazdilar Maks Bruch.^[2] Qaytish bilan ular Londonda, dastlab joylashgan Vestminster va 1905 yildan boshlab "Chelsi". Nikoh farzandlari bo'lmagan.^[25]

1899 yilda Vaughan Uilyams Kembrijda musiqa doktori ilmiy darajasiga imtihon topshirdi; unvon unga rasmiy ravishda 1901 yilda berilgan.^[25][26] "Linden Lea" qo'shig'i jurnalda nashr etilgan nashrida nashr etilgan birinchi asarlari bo'ldi Vokalist 1902 yil aprelda, keyin esa alohida nota musiqasi sifatida.^[5][27] Asrning birinchi o'n yilligida kompozitsiyadan tashqari u o'zini bir qancha vazifalarda band qildi. U musiqiy jurnallar uchun va ikkinchi nashr uchun maqolalar yozgan Grove musiqa va musiqachilar lug'ati, Purcell-ning birinchi jildini tahrir qildi Xush kelibsiz qo'shiqlar Purcell Jamiyati uchun va bir muncha vaqt davomida Universitetning kengaytirilgan ma'ruzalarida kattalar ta'limi bilan shug'ullangan. 1904-1906 yillarda u yangi madhiya kitobining musiqiy muharriri, Ingliz gimnali, bu haqda u keyinchalik shunday degan edi: "Men bilamanki, dunyodagi eng yaxshi (shuningdek, eng yomon) kuylar bilan ikki yillik yaqin hamkorlik har qanday sonata va fugalarga qaraganda yaxshiroq musiqiy ta'lim edi".^[28] Har doim butun jamoat uchun musiqa yaratishga sodiq bo'lib, u havaskorni topishga yordam berdi Leith Hill musiqiy festivali 1905 yilda va uning bosh dirijyori etib tayinlangan, u 1953 yilgacha ishlagan.^[2]

1903-1904 yillarda Von Uilyams folklor qo'shiqlarini yig'ishni boshladi. U har doim ularga qiziqib yurgan va endi so'nggi avlod meraklıları o'rnak olgan Sesil Sharp va Lucy Broadwood ingliz qishloqlariga borishda an'anaviy ravishda turli joylarda kuylanadigan qo'shiqlarni qayd etib, transkripsiyalashda.^[29] Og'zaki an'analar yo'qolib ketganligi sababli yo'q bo'lib ketishi mumkin bo'lgan ko'pchilikni saqlab qolgan qo'shiqlarning to'plamlari nashr etildi. Vaughan Uilyams ba'zilarini o'z kompozitsiyalariga kiritgan va umuman olganda ularning modal shakllari ta'sir ko'rsatgan.^[30] Bu, Tudor va Styuart musiqasiga bo'lgan muhabbati bilan birga, butun faoliyati davomida uning kompozitsion uslubini shakllantirishga yordam berdi.^[2]

Bu davrda Vaughan Williams doimiy ravishda bastakor bo'lib, qo'shiqlar, xor musiqasi, kamer asarlari va orkestr asarlarini yaratib, asta-sekin o'zining etuk uslubining boshlanishini topdi.^[31] Uning kompozitsiyalari tarkibiga quyidagilar kiritilgan ohang she'ri Fen mamlakatlarida (1904) va Norfolk rapsodiyasi №1 (1906).^[32] U bastakor sifatida o'z texnikasidan norozi bo'lib qoldi. Muvaffaqiyatsiz darslardan so'ng Ser Edvard Elgar,^[33] u o'qishni o'ylardi Vinsent d'Indy Parijda. Buning o'rniga u tanqidchi va musiqashunos tomonidan tanishtirildi M. D. Calvocoressi ga Moris Ravel, d'Indiga qaraganda zamonaviyroq, kamroq dogmatik musiqachi.^[33]

Ravel; ko'tarilayotgan shuhrat; Birinchi jahon urushi

Moris Ravel 1906 yilda

Ravel oz sonli o'quvchilarni olib, o'qitishga rozi bo'lganlar uchun talabchan vazifa ustasi sifatida tanilgan.^[34] Vaughan Uilyams 1907-1908 yil qishda uch oy Parijda bo'lib, u bilan har hafta to'rt-besh marta ishlagan.^[35] Vaughan Uilyamsning Ravel bilan bo'lgan vaqtiga oid ozgina hujjatlar mavjud; musiqashunos Bayron Adams Vaughan Williamsning eslashlariga tayanib, ehtiyot bo'lishni maslahat beradi Musiqiy tarjimai hol voqeadan qirq uch yil o'tgach yozilgan.^[36] Frantsuz bastakori ingliz uslubiga qanchalik ta'sir qilganligi haqida bahs yuritiladi.^[37] Ravel Von Uilyamsni "mening musiqamni yozmaydigan yagona o'quvchim" deb e'lon qildi;^[38] Shunga qaramay, Kennedi, Adams, shu jumladan sharhlovchilar Xyu Ottvey Va Alen Frogley Parijdan qaytib kelganidan keyin yozilgan musiqada Vaughan Uilyamsning cholg'u asboblarini engilroq va aniqroq topadi, masalan, G minorda Simli kvartet, Wenlock Edge-da, uchun uverture Wasps va Dengiz simfoniyasi.^[30][39] Vaughan Uilyamsning o'zi Ravel unga "og'ir kontrapuntal teutonik uslubdan" qochishga yordam berganini aytdi.^[40]

1908 yilda Parijdan qaytib kelishi va avj olish davri o'rtasida Birinchi jahon urushi 1914 yilda Vaughan Uilyams tobora o'zini Britaniya musiqasida taniqli shaxs sifatida namoyon qildi. O'sib borayotgan bastakor uchun katta viloyat musiqa festivallarida chiqishlarni qabul qilish muhim edi, bu reklama va gonorarlarni keltirib chiqardi.^[41] 1910 yilda uning musiqasi ikkita eng taniqli va eng obro'li festivallarda namoyish etildi, premeralari bilan Tomas Tallis tomonidan mavzudagi fantaziya da Uch xor festivali yilda Gloucester sobori sentyabrda va Dengiz simfoniyasi da Lids festivali keyingi oy.^[42][43] O'sha davrning etakchi ingliz musiqa tanqidchilari, J. A. Fuller Meytlend ning The Times va Samuel Langford ning Manchester Guardian, ularning maqtovlarida kuchli edilar. Birinchisi xayol haqida shunday yozgan edi: "Asar juda zo'r, chunki u o'zini musiqiy fikr va hissiyotning noma'lum mintaqasiga olib chiqadigandek tuyuladi. O'zining faoliyati davomida odam juda eski yoki juda yangi narsalarni tinglayotganiga hech qachon amin emas".^[42] Langford, simfoniya "shubhasiz ingliz bastakorlarimizning birinchi darajasida yangi raqamni joylashtiradi" deb e'lon qildi.^{[44][n 7]} Va Von Uilyamsning ushbu yutuqlar bilan urush boshlanishi o'rtasida eng katta hajmdagi asari birinchi versiyasi edi London simfoniyasi (1914). Xuddi shu yili u yozgan Ko'tarilish Lark skripka va pianino uchun asl shaklida.^[5]

Vaughan Uilyams 1913 yilda

Yoshiga qaramay - u 1914 yilda qirq ikki yoshda edi - Vaughan Uilyams Birinchi Jahon urushi boshlanganda ixtiyoriy ravishda harbiy xizmatga ketdi. Ga qo'shilish Qirollik armiyasi tibbiyot korpusi kabi xususiy, u tez yordam vagonlarini haydab chiqardi Frantsiyada va keyinchalik Gretsiyada. Frogli ushbu davr haqida Von Uilyamsning ko'pchilik o'rtoqlaridan ancha katta bo'lganligi va "loy va yomg'ir bo'ylab kechayu-kunduz xavfli sayohat qilishning orqaga qaytish mehnati odatda jazolashdan ko'proq bo'lishi kerak edi" deb yozadi.^[2] Urush ko'plab do'stlari va do'stlarini, shu jumladan yosh bastakordan ayrilgan Vaughan Uilyamsda o'zining hissiy izlarini qoldirdi Jorj Buttervort.^[46] 1917 yilda Vaughan Uilyams a sifatida ishga tushirildi leytenant ichida Qirollik artilleriyasi 1918 yil martidan Frantsiyadagi harakatlarni ko'rgan. Qurollarning doimiy shovqini uning eshitish qobiliyatiga zarar etkazdi va keyingi yillarda karlikka olib keldi.^[47] Sulh bitimidan so'ng 1918 yilda u inglizlar uchun musiqa direktori bo'lib xizmat qildi Birinchi armiya 1919 yil fevralda safdan chiqarilgunga qadar.^[4]

Urushlararo yillar

Urush paytida Von Uilyams musiqa yozishni to'xtatdi va fuqarolik hayotiga qaytgach, u yangi asarlar yaratishga tayyor bo'lguncha biroz vaqt talab qildi. U avvalgi qismlarini qayta ko'rib chiqdi va boshqa musiqiy tadbirlarga e'tiborini qaratdi. 1919 yilda u Parridan keyin direktor lavozimiga kelgan Xyu Allenning RCMda kompozitsiyadan dars berish uchun taklifini qabul qildi; u keyingi yigirma yil davomida kollejning fakultetida qoldi.^{[48][n 8]} 1921 yilda u Alenning o'rnini dirijyor sifatida egalladi Bax xori, London. 1922 yilgacha u yangi yangi kompozitsiyani yaratdi, Pastoral simfoniya; Londonda may oyida birinchi namoyishi bo'lib o'tdi Adrian Boult va uning dekabr oyida Nyu-Yorkdagi amerikalik premyerasi bastakor tomonidan o'tkazildi.^[51]

Vaughan Uilyams 1922 yilda

20-asrning 20-yillari davomida Vaughan Uilyams ijod qilishni davom ettirdi va o'qitishni boshladi. Kennedi o'n yil davomida premerasi bo'lgan qirq asarni sanab o'tdi, shu jumladan G minorda massa (1922), balet Qari qirol Koul (1923), operalar Xyu Drover va Sir Jon oshiq (1924 va 1928), suite Flos Kampi (1925) va oratoriya Sancta Civitas (1925).^[52]

O'n yil ichida Adeline artrit bilan tobora ko'proq immobilizatsiya qilinmoqda va ularning Londondagi uylaridagi ko'plab zinapoyalar Vaughan Uilyamsni 1929 yilda boshqariladigan "Oq Geyts" uyiga ko'chirishga olib keldi. Dorking 1951 yilda Adelining vafotigacha ular yashagan. O'zini to'liq Londonlik deb o'ylagan Von Uilyams poytaxtni tark etganidan afsusda edi, lekin uning rafiqasi mamlakatda yashashni xohlardi va Dorking shaharga juda qulay joyda edi.^[53]

1932 yilda Vaughan Uilyams prezident etib saylandi Ingliz xalq raqsi va qo'shiqlari jamiyati. O'sha yilning sentyabridan dekabrigacha u AQShda tashrif buyurgan ma'ruzachi sifatida bo'lgan Bryn Mavr kolleji, Pensilvaniya.^[5] Uning ma'ruzalari matnlari sarlavha ostida nashr etilgan Milliy musiqa 1934 yilda; ular uning badiiy va ijtimoiy kredosini ilgari nashr etgan har qanday narsadan to'liqroq xulosa qiladilar va asrning qolgan qismida bosma nashrda qolishdi.^[2]

1930-yillarda Von Uilyams Britaniya musiqasining etakchi vakili sifatida tanilgan, ayniqsa Elgar vafotidan so'ng, Delius va Xolst 1934 yilda.^[54] Xolstning o'limi Von Uilyamsga jiddiy shaxsiy va professional zarba bo'ldi; kollej davridan beri ikkalasi bir-birlarining eng yaqin do'stlari va musiqiy maslahatchilari bo'lgan. Xolst vafotidan keyin Vogan Uilyams Boult va bastakor kabi boshqa do'stlarning maslahati va qo'llab-quvvatlashidan xursand edi Jerald Finzi,^[55] ammo uning Xolst bilan munosabati almashtirib bo'lmas edi.^[56]

Vaughan Uilyamsning 1930-yillardagi ba'zi musiqalarida aniq qorong'i, hatto zo'ravonlik ohanglari mavjud. Balet Ish: Raqslar uchun maska (1930) va To'rtinchi simfoniya (1935) jamoatchilikni va tanqidchilarni hayratda qoldirdi.^[30] Xalqaro keskinlik kuchaygan bir paytda yozilgan simfoniyaning kelishmovchilik va zo'ravonlik ohanglari ko'plab tanqidchilar simfoniyani shunday deb taxmin qilishiga olib keldi. dasturiy. Hubert Foss uni "Romantik" va " Frank Xouus uni "Fashist" deb nomlagan.^[57] Bastakor bunday talqinlarni rad etdi va asar shunday bo'lishini talab qildi mutlaq musiqa, hech qanday dastur yo'q; Shunga qaramay, unga yaqin bo'lganlarning ba'zilari, shu jumladan Foss va Boult, asardagi zamonning tashvishli ruhi nimadir ushlanganiga amin bo'lishdi.^{[57][n 9]}

O'n yil davom etar ekan, Vaughan Uilyams musiqiy ilhom etishmayotganini sezdi va urush davridagi musiqiy sukunatidan beri birinchi bo'sh davrini boshdan kechirdi. Uning urushga qarshi kantatasidan keyin Dona nobis pacem 1936 yilda u birinchi uzunlikdagi 1941 yil oxirigacha yana bir katta uzunlikdagi asarni yakunlamadi Beshinchi simfoniya yakunlandi.^[2]

1938 yilda Von Uilyams uchrashdi Ursula Vud (1911–2007), armiya zobiti, kapitan (keyinchalik podpolkovnik) Maykl Forrester Vudning rafiqasi.^[59] U shoir edi va balet uchun stsenariy bilan bastakorga murojaat qilgan edi. Ikkalasi ham turmush qurganiga va to'rt yoshdagi yoshga qaramay, ular deyarli birinchi uchrashuvlaridanoq sevib qolishdi; ular o'n yildan ko'proq vaqt davomida yashirin sevgi munosabatlarini saqlab qolishdi.^[60] Ursula bastakorning muzi, yordamchisi va Londonning sherigi bo'ldi va keyinchalik unga kasal xotiniga g'amxo'rlik qilishda yordam berdi. Adeline Ursula va Vaughan Uilyamsning sevishganligini biladimi yoki shubha qiladimi, bu noaniq, ammo ikki ayol o'rtasidagi munosabatlar ular bir-birlarini tanigan yillar davomida iliq do'stona munosabatda bo'lishgan. Bastakorning birinchi xotiniga bo'lgan xavotirlari hech qachon pasaymadi, deydi Ursula, 1980 yillarda Vaughan Uilyamsning hayoti va muhabbatida o'rni beqiyos bo'lgan Adelindan rashk qilganini tan oldi.^[60]

Adelinning buyrug'i bilan beva ayol Ursula Vork Uilyamsga Dorkingda qolishga taklif qilindi va keyinchalik u erda doimiy mehmon bo'lib, ba'zan bir necha haftada bo'lib turardi. Tanqidchi Maykl Uayt Adeline "Ursulani o'z vorisi sifatida qabul qilgan ko'rinadi", deb taklif qiladi.^[62] Ursula havo reydlari paytida uchalasi ham bir xonada yotoqxonalarda yotishganini, qulaylik uchun qo'l ushlaganini yozdi.^[62]

Musiqa

Ochilish Tomas Tallis tomonidan mavzudagi fantaziya, 1910

Maykl Kennedi Vaughan Uilyamsning musiqasini folklor qo'shig'idan tanish bo'lgan modal uyg'unlikni Ravel va Debussilarning frantsuzcha ta'siri bilan qat'iy individual ravishda aralashishi sifatida tavsiflaydi. Uning ishining asosini ohangdorlik, uning ritmlari, Kennedining fikriga ko'ra, ba'zan noaniq bo'ladi.^[81] Vaughan Uilyamsning musiqasi ko'pincha vizyoner deb ta'riflanadi;^{[n 11]} Kennedi masjidni keltiradi Ish Beshinchi va to'qqizinchi simfoniyalar.^[81] Vaughan Uilyamsning chiqishi samarali va keng ko'lamli edi. Ovoz uchun u havaskorlarga mos bo'lgan oddiyroq qismlardan tortib, professional xorlar uchun talab qilinadigan asarlarga qadar qo'shiqlar, operalar va xor asarlarini yaratdi. Uning kamdan-kam kamerali asarlari uning taniqli asarlari qatoriga kirmaydi.^[88] Uning ba'zi bir eng yaxshi asarlari odatiy turkumlarni chetlab o'tmoqda, masalan Serenad to Music (1938) o'n olti yakkaxon xonanda va orkestr uchun; Flos Kampi (1925) yakka viola, kichik orkestr va kichik xor uchun; va uning eng muhim kamera ishi, Xouusning fikriga ko'ra, nafaqat cholg'u, balki qo'shiq tsikli -Wenlock Edge-da (1909) torli kvartet va fortepiano uchun akkompanimentda.^[4]

1955 yilda mualliflar Yozuvlar bo'yicha qo'llanma, Edvard Sekvil-G'arb va Desmond Shou-Teylor Vaughan Uilyamsning musiqasi juda kuchli individual ovozni namoyish etganligini yozgan: Vaughan Uilyamsning uslubi "nafisligi yoki xushmuomalasi yoki ixtirochi rangi bilan diqqatga sazovor emas", ammo "fikr va hissiyot va ularning musiqadagi ularga teng keladigan tasvirlari hech qachon pastga tushmaydigan" izchil vahiyni ifoda etadi. tabiiy farqlanishning ma'lum yuqori darajasi ". Ular bastakorning vizyoni ikkita asosiy qarama-qarshi kayfiyatda ifodalanganligini ta'kidladilar: "biri tafakkur qiluvchi va transga o'xshash, ikkinchisi hiyla-nayrang va yomon". Odatda, odatda, bastakor ijrosida ustun bo'lgan birinchi kayfiyat ko'proq mashhur edi, chunki tomoshabinlar "Tallis Fantasia" ning oynali go'zalligini, musiqa ijrochilarining to'g'ridan-to'g'ri ohangdorligini afzal ko'rishardi.

Stravinskiy tez orada ta'qib qilinishi kerak bo'lgan.^[95]

London simfoniyasi Keyinchalik (1911-1913), bastakor keyinchalik kuzatganini "londonlik simfoniya" deb atash mumkin,^[96] London taqdimotida aksariyat hollarda aniq tasviriy emas. Vaughan Williams "o'zini ifoda etishi va" mutloq "musiqa sifatida turishi yoki tushishi kerak", deb ta'kidladi.^[97] Shahar tovush manzarasiga ba'zi havolalar mavjud: ko'cha musiqasidan qisqacha taassurotlar, ovozi bilan barrel organi orkestr tomonidan taqlid qilingan; xarakteristikasi ashula lavanta sotuvchisi; jingalak hansom kabinalari; va chimes Big Ben arfa va klarnet chaladi.^[98] Ammo sharhlovchilar eshitishgan - va bastakor hech qachon inkor etmagan yoki tasdiqlamagan - sherzo oxirida yomon aks-sado bergan ba'zi ijtimoiy sharhlar va final ochilishida orkestr azoblari va umidsizliklari.^[99] Shvartsning ta'kidlashicha, simfoniya "keng heterojen elementlarning birlashtirilgan taqdimotida" "shaharning o'ziga juda o'xshaydi".^[100] Vaughan Uilyams keyingi yillarda bu uning simfoniyalarning eng sevimlisi ekanligini aytgan.^{[n 13]}

Birinchi guruhning oxirgisi Pastoral simfoniya (1921). Dastlabki uchta harakat faqat orkestr uchun; finalda so'zsiz yakkaxon soprano yoki tenor ovoz qo'shiladi. Ushbu nomga qaramay, simfoniya bastakorning sevimli xalq qo'shiqlariga unchalik ahamiyat bermaydi va chorvachilik manzarasi osoyishta ingliz sahnasi emas, balki urush tomonidan vayron bo'lgan Frantsiya qishloqlari.^[102] Birinchi jahon urushida qatnashmagan ba'zi ingliz musiqachilari asarni noto'g'ri tushunib, faqat sekin tempi va sokin ohangni eshitib, musiqadagi rekviyem xarakterini sezmay qolishdi va asarni rustik idil deb o'ylashdi.^{[n 14]} Kennedi Ikkinchi Jahon Urushidan keyingina "ikkinchi harakatdagi" So'nggi post "spektrali va finaldagi qizning nolish ovozi" keng tarqalgani va tushunilganligini aytdi.^[103]

4-6 simfoniyalar (1935-1948)

O'rta uchta simfoniya faqat orkestr va odatda an'anaviy shaklda sonata shakli (joylarda o'zgartirilgan), ko'rsatilgan uy kalitlari va to'rt harakatli tuzilish.^[104] Kerakli orkestr kuchlari 20-asrning birinchi yarmidagi me'yorlar bo'yicha unchalik katta emas, garchi To'rtinchisi shamol shamolining kengaytirilgan qismini, oltinchisi esa tenor saksafon.^[105] The To'rtinchi simfoniya (1935) tinglovchilarni avvalgi simfoniyaning hukm surayotgan sokin ohangidan yiroq bo'lgan ajoyib dissonansi bilan hayratga soldi.^[106] Bastakor asar har qanday jihatdan dasturilamal bo'lgan degan har qanday tushunchaga qat'iy qarshi chiqdi va Kennedi asarni berishga urinishlarni "shodiyona dastur ... uning musiqiy hayotiyligi va o'zini o'zi qoniqtirishi uchun yomon maqtov" deb atadi.^[107]

The Beshinchi simfoniya (1943) avvalgisidan to'liq farq qilgan. Vaughan Uilyams Bunyanning operatsion versiyasida ko'p yillar davomida ishlagan va ishlamagan Ziyoratchilarning borishi. Vogan Uilyams opera hech qachon tugamasligidan qo'rqib, noto'g'ri bo'lib chiqdi - u uchun yozilgan ba'zi musiqalarni yangi simfoniyaga aylantirdi. Joylarda moddiylik ataylab to'qnashuvi oqibatida yuzaga kelgan ichki ziddiyatlarga qaramay, asar odatda tinch xarakterga ega va u har tomonlama urush paytida bergan qulayligi uchun juda yaxshi qabul qilindi.^[108] Nevil Kardus keyinchalik "Beshinchi simfoniya bizning zamonamizning eng xushchaqchaq va tasalli musiqasini o'z ichiga oladi" deb yozgan.^[109]

Bilan Oltinchi simfoniya (1948) Vaughan Uilyams kutganlarini yana bir bor chalg'itdi. Ko'pchilik u yetmish yoshida tuzilgan Beshinchisini valediktorlik asari sifatida ko'rgan va shov-shuvli, tashvishli oltinchi shokka tushgan. Birinchi harakatdagi shiddatli orkestr to'qnashuvlaridan so'ng, obsesif ostinato ikkinchisi va "diabolik" sherzo, final ko'plab tinglovchilarni hayratda qoldirdi.

Sinfonia antartika, 8 va 9-simfoniyalar (1952-1957)

Ettinchi simfoniya Sinfonia antartika (1952), bastakor uchun qo'shilgan mahsulot Antarktidadan Skott, uni simfoniya sifatida to'g'ri tasniflash mumkinligi to'g'risida doimiy ravishda tanqidiy fikrlarni ajratib turadi.^[111] Alen Frogley Grove asar tinglovchida chuqur taassurot qoldirishi mumkin bo'lsa-da, bu terminning tushunilgan ma'nosida haqiqiy simfoniya ham, ohang she'ri ham emas va natijada etuk simfoniyalarning eng kam muvaffaqiyati. Asar beshta harakatdan iborat bo'lib, birinchi va oxirgi harakatlarda ayol xor va yakka soprano uchun so'zsiz vokal qatorlari mavjud.^[30] Yog'och va zarb bilan zarb qilingan katta qismlardan tashqari, skorda muhim qism mavjud shamol mashinasi.^[112]

The Sakkizinchi simfoniya (1956) D minorda o'zining qisqa va kichik kaliti bo'lishiga qaramay, umumiy yengilligi bilan ettita avvalgisidan sezilarli farq qiladi. Orkestr simfoniyalarning ko'pchiligiga qaraganda kichikroq, faqat zarbalar bo'limi bundan mustasno, ayniqsa katta, Vughan Uilyams aytganidek "bastakorga ma'lum bo'lgan barcha" telefonlar "va" shpillar ".^[113] Dastlabki chiqishlari qizg'in kutib olindi va Von Uilyamsning eng mashhur asarlari orasida qoldi.^[113][114]

Yakuniy simfoniya To'qqizinchi, was completed in late 1957 and premiered in April 1958, four months before the composer's death. It is scored for a large orchestra, including three saxophones, a flugelhorn, and an enlarged percussion section. The mood is more sombre than that of the Eighth; Grove calls its mood "at once heroic and contemplative, defiant and wistfully absorbed".^[30] The work received an ovation at its premiere,^[115] but at first the critics were not sure what to make of it, and it took some years for it to be generally ranked alongside its eight predecessors.^[116]

Ronald Braunshteyn conducting Vaughan Williams's Tomas Tallis tomonidan mavzudagi fantaziya Internet arxivida

Grove lists more than thirty works by Vaughan Williams for orchestra or band over and above the symphonies. They include two of his most popular works—the Tomas Tallis tomonidan mavzudagi fantaziya (1910, revised 1919), and Ko'tarilish Lark, originally for violin and piano (1914); orchestrated 1920.^[117] Other works that survive in the repertoire in Britain are the Norfolk Rhapsody No 1 (1905–1906), The Wasps, Aristophanic suite—particularly the overture (1909), the Ingliz folk qo'shiqlari to'plami (1923) va Greensleevesdagi fantaziya (1934).^[30]

Vaughan Williams wrote four concertos: for violin (1925), pianino (1926), oboy (1944) va tuba (1954); another concertante piece is his Romance for harmonika, strings and piano (1951).^[30] None of these works has rivalled the popularity of the symphonies or the short orchestral works mentioned above.^{[n 16]} Bartók was among the admirers of the Piano Concerto, written for and championed by Harriet Koen, but it has remained, in the words of the critic Andrew Achenbach, a neglected masterpiece.^[119]

In addition to the music for Antarktidadan Skott, Vaughan Williams composed incidental music for eleven other films, from 49-chi parallel (1941) to Uilyam Bleykning ko'rinishi (1957).^[30]

Palata va instrumental

By comparison with his output in other genres, Vaughan Williams's music for chamber ensembles and solo instruments forms a small part of his oeuvre. Grove lists twenty-four pieces under the heading "Chamber and instrumental"; three are early, unpublished works.^[30] Vaughan Williams, like most leading British 20th-century composers, was not drawn to the solo piano and wrote little for it.^{[n 17]} From his mature years, there survive for standard chamber groupings two string quartets (1908–1909, revised 1921; and 1943–1944), a "phantasy" string quintet (1912), and a sonata for violin and piano (1954). The first quartet was written soon after Vaughan Williams's studies in Paris with Ravel, whose influence is strongly evident.^{[n 18]} In 2002 the magazine Gramofon described the second quartet as a masterpiece that should be, but is not, part of the international chamber repertory.^[121] It is from the same period as the Sixth Symphony, and has something of that work's severity and anguish.^[122] The quintet (1912) was written two years after the success of the Tallis Fantaziya, with which it has elements in common, both in terms of instrumental layout and the mood of rapt contemplation.^[123] The violin sonata has made little impact.^[124]

Vokal musiqasi

Ursula Vaughan Williams wrote of her husband's love of literature, and listed some of his favourite writers and writings:

Kimdan Skelton va Chaucer, Sidni, Spenser, the Authorised Version of the Bible, the madrigal poets, the anonymous poets, to Shakespeare—inevitably and devotedly—on to Gerbert va uning zamondoshlari, Milton, Bunyan, and Shelli, Tennyson, Svinbern, ikkalasi ham Rossettis, Uitmen, Barns, Hardy va Uy egasi.^[125]

In addition to his love of poetry, Vaughan Williams's vocal music is inspired by his lifelong belief that the voice "can be made the medium of the best and deepest human emotion."^[126]

Qo'shiqlar

Between the mid-1890s and the late 1950s Vaughan Williams set more than eighty poems for voice and piano accompaniment. The earliest to survive is "A Cradle Song", to Kolrij 's words, from about 1894.^[30] The songs include many that have entered the repertory, such as "Linden Lea" (1902), "Silent Noon" (1904) and the song cycles Sayohat qo'shiqlari (1905 and 1907) and Wenlock Edge-da.^[127] To Vaughan Williams the human voice was "the oldest and greatest of musical instruments".^[128] He described his early songs as "more or less simple and popular in character",^[129] and the musicologist Sophie Fuller describes this simplicity and popularity as consistent throughout his career.^[130] Many composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries wrote sentimental works for female voice; by contrast, songs by Vaughan Williams, such as "The Vagabond" from Sayohat qo'shiqlari, so'zlarga Robert Lui Stivenson, are "a particularly masculine breath of fresh air" (Fuller), "virile open-air verses" (Kennedy).^[131] Some of Vaughan Williams's later songs are less well known; Fuller singles out the cycle Three Poems by Walt Whitman, a largely dark work, as too often overlooked by singers and critics.^[132] For some of his songs the composer expands the accompaniment to include two or more string instruments in addition to the piano; ular o'z ichiga oladi Wenlock Edge-da, and the Chaucer cycle Shafqatsiz go'zallik (1921), judged by an anonymous contemporary critic as "surely among the best of modern English songs".^[132]

Xor musiqasi

Statue of Vaughan Williams by William Fawke, Dorking

Despite his agnosticism Vaughan Williams composed many works for church performance. His two best known hymn tunes, both from c. 1905, are "Down Ampney" to the words "Come Down, O Love Divine", and "Sinus nomzodi" "For All the Saints".^[133] Grove lists a dozen more, composed between 1905 and 1935. Other church works include a Magnificat va Nunc Dimittis (1925), the Mass (1920–1921), a Te Deum (1928)^[30] and the motets Ey qo'llaringizni qarsak chaling (1920), Lord, Thou hast been our Refuge (1921) va Ey Ta'm va ko'r (1953, first performed at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II).^[134]

Vaughan Williams's choral works for concert performance include settings of both secular and religious words. Birinchisi kiradi Noma'lum mintaqaga qarab to words by Whitman (composed 1904–1906), Beshta Tudor portreti, words by John Skelton (1935), and the Shakespearean Serenad to Music (in its alternative version for chorus and orchestra, 1938). Choral pieces with religious words include the oratorio Sancta Civitas (1923–1925) and the Christmas cantata Xodi (1954). In 1953 the composer said that of his choral works Sancta Civitas was his favourite.^[135] The Dona Nobis Pacem, an impassioned anti-war cantata (1936) is a combination of both, with words from Whitman and others juxtaposed with extracts from the Latin mass, anticipating a similar mixture of sacred and secular text in Britten "s Urush Requiem twenty-five years later.^[136]

Sahna ishlari

Vaughan Williams was wary of conventional labels; his best known ballet is described on the title page as "a masque for dancing" and only one of his operatic works is categorised by the composer simply as an opera. For some of his theatre pieces that could be classed as operas or ballets, he preferred the terms "masque", "romantic extravaganza", "play set to music", or "morality".^{[n 19]}

In a 2013 survey of Vaughan Williams's stage works, Eric Saylor writes, "With the possible exception of Chaykovskiy, no composer's operatic career was less emblematic of his success elsewhere."^[138] Although Vaughan Williams was a regular opera-goer, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about works by operatic masters from Motsart to Wagner and Verdi, his success in the operatic field was at best patchy. There is widespread agreement among commentators that this was partly due to the composer's poor choice of librettists for some, though not all, of his operas.^[139] Another problem was his keenness to encourage amateurs and student groups, which sometimes led to the staging of his operas with less than professional standards.^[138] A further factor was the composer's expressed preference for "slow, long stol", which tended to reduce dramatic impact, although he believed them essential, as "music takes a long time to speak—much longer than words by themselves."^[140]

Hugh the Drover, or Love in the Stocks (completed 1919, premiere 1924) has a libretto, by the writer and theatre critic Harold Child, which was described by Sahna as "replete with folksy, Cotswold village archetypes".^[141] In the view of the critic Richard Traubner the piece is a cross between traditional ballad opera and the works of Puccini and Ravel, "with rhapsodic results." The score uses genuine and pastiche folk songs but ends with a passionate love duet that Traubner considers has few equals in English opera.^[142] Its first performance was by students at the Royal College of Music, and the work is rarely staged by major professional companies.^[141]

Qari qirol Koul (1923) is a humorous ballet. The score, which makes liberal use of folk-song melodies, was thought by critics to be strikingly modern when first heard. Kennedy comments that the music "is not a major work but it is fun." The piece has not been seen frequently since its premiere, but was revived in a student production at the RCM in 1937.^[143]

Rojdestvo kechasida (1926), a masque by Adolph Bolm and Vaughan Williams, combines singing, dancing and mime. The story is loosely based on Dikkens "s Rojdestvo Kerol.^[144] The piece was first given in Chikago by Bolm's company; the London premiere was in 1935. Saylor describes the work as a "dramatic hodgepodge" which has not attracted the interest of later performers.^[145]

The only work that the composer designated as an opera is the comedy Sir Jon oshiq (1924–1928). Bunga asoslanadi Shekspir "s Vindzorning quvnoq xotinlari. Folk song is used, though more discreetly than in Xyu Drover, and the score is described by Saylor as "ravishingly tuneful".^[146] Although versions of the play had already been set by Nikolay, Verdi, and Holst, Vaughan Williams's is distinctive for its greater emphasis on the love music rather than on the robust comedy.^[147] In 1931, with the Leith Hill Festival in mind, the composer recast some of the music as a five-section cantata, Vindzor o'rmonida, giving the public "the plums and no cake", as he put it.^[148]

Zaharlangan o'pish (1927–1929, premiered in 1936) is a light comedy. Vaughan Williams knew the Savoy operalari yaxshi,^[149] and his music for this piece was and is widely regarded as in the Sallivan tomir.^[150] The words, by an inexperienced librettist, were judged to fall far short of Gilbert 's standards.^[151] Saylor sums up the critical consensus that the work is something between "a frothy romantic comedy [and] a satirical fairy-tale", and not quite successful in either category.^[152]

Uilyam Bleyk 's engraving of Ish and his comforters

Ish: Raqslar uchun maska (1930) was the first large-scale ballet by a modern British composer.^[153] Vaughan Williams's liking for long stol, however disadvantageous in his operas, worked to successful effect in this ballet. The work is inspired by Uilyam Bleyk "s Ayub kitobining rasmlari (1826). The score is divided into nine sections and an epilogue, presenting dance interpretations of some of Blake's engravings.^[154] The work, choreographed by Ninette de Valois, made a powerful impression at its early stagings, and has been revived by the Qirollik baleti ko `p marotaba.^[145][155] Kennedy ranks the score as "one of Vaughan Williams's mightiest achievements", and notes that it is familiar in concert programmes, having "the stature and cohesion of a symphony."^[156]

In Kennedy's view the one-act Dengizga otliqlar (1925–1931, premiered 1937) is artistically Vaughan Williams's most successful opera; Saylor names Sir Jon oshiq for that distinction, but rates Dengizga otliqlar as one of the composer's finest works in any genre.^[157] It is an almost verbatim setting of J. M. Synge 's 1902 play of the same name, depicting family tragedy in an Irish fishing village. Kennedy describes the score as "organized almost symphonically" with much of the thematic material developed from the brief prelude. The orchestration is subtle, and foreshadows the ghostly finale of the Sixth Symphony; there are also pre-echoes of the Sinfonia antartika in the lamenting voices of the women and in the sound of the sea.^[158]

Kelinlar kuni (1938–1939) is a masque, to a scenario by Ursula, combining voice, mime and dance, first performed in 1953 on BBC televizor. Vaughan Williams later recast it a kantata, Epitalamion (1957).^[159]

Ziyoratchilarning borishi (1951), the composer's last opera, was the culmination of more than forty years' intermittent work on the theme of Bunyan's religious allegory. Vaughan Williams had written incidental music for an amateur dramatisation in 1906, and had returned to the theme in 1921 with the one-act Nozik tog'larning cho'ponlari (finally incorporated, with amendments, into the 1951 opera). The work has been criticised for a preponderance of slow music and stretches lacking in dramatic action,^[160] but some commentators believe the work to be one of Vaughan Williams's supreme achievements.^[30] Summaries of the music vary from "beautiful, if something of a stylistic jumble" (Saylor) to "a synthesis of Vaughan Williams's stylistic progress over the years, from the pastoral mediation of the 1920s to the angry music of the middle symphonies and eventually the more experimental phase of the Sinfonia antartika in his last decade" (Kennedy).^[160][161]

Yozuvlar

Vaughan Williams conducted a handful of recordings for gramophone and radio. His studio recordings are the overture to Wasps va balet Qari qirol Koul (both made in 1925),^[162] and the Fourth Symphony (1937).^[162] Live concert tapings include Dona Nobis Pacem (1936),^[163] The Serenad to Music,^[164] and the Fifth Symphony,^[163] recorded in 1951 and 1952, respectively. There is a recording of Vaughan Williams conducting the Sent-Metyu Passion with his Leith Hill Festival forces.^[165] In the early days of LP in the 1950s Vaughan Williams was better represented in the record catalogues than most British composers. Yozuvlar bo'yicha qo'llanma (1955) contained nine pages of listings of his music on disc, compared with five for Uolton, and four apiece for Elgar and Britten.^[166]

All the composer's major works and many of the minor ones have been recorded.^[167] There have been numerous complete LP and CD sets of the nine symphonies, beginning with Boult's Decca cycle of the 1950s, most of which was recorded in the composer's presence.^{[168][n 20]} Although rarely staged, the operas have fared well on disc. The earliest recording of a Vaughan Williams opera was Xyu Drover, in an abridged version conducted by Sargent in 1924.^[172] Since the 1960s there have been stereophonic recordings of Xyu Drover, Sir Jon oshiq, Dengizga otliqlar, Zaharlangan o'pishva Ziyoratchilarning borishi.^[173] Most of the orchestral recordings have been by British orchestras and conductors, but notable non-British conductors who have made recordings of Vaughan Williams's works include Gerbert fon Karajan, Leonard Bernshteyn, Leopold Stokovski,^[174] and, most frequently, André Previn, kim tomonidan o'tkazilgan London simfonik orkestri in the first complete stereo cycle of the symphonies, recorded between 1967 and 1972.^[175] Among the British conductors most closely associated with Vaughan Williams's music on disc and in concert in the generations after Boult, Sargent and Barbirolli are Vernon Xendli, Richard Xikoks, Ser Mark Elder va Ser Endryu Devis.^[176] Record companies with extensive lists of Vaughan Williams recordings include EMI, Decca, Chandos, Hyperion va Naksos.^[167]

Hurmat va meros

Vaughan Williams refused a ritsarlik at least once, and declined the post of Qirol musiqasining ustasi after Elgar's death.^[177] The one state honour he accepted was the Faxriy xizmat ordeni in 1935, which confers no prenominal title: he preferred to remain "Dr Vaughan Williams".^[178] His academic and musical honours included an honorary doctorate of music from the Oksford universiteti (1919); The Kobbett medal for services to chamber music (1930); the gold medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society (1930); the Collard life fellowship of the Worshipful Company of Musicians (1934, in succession to Elgar); an honorary fellowship of Trinity College, Cambridge (1935); The Shakespeare prize ning Gamburg universiteti (1937); The Albert medali ning Qirollik san'at jamiyati (1955); va Howland memorial prize of Yale University (1954).^[2][25]

After Vaughan Williams's death, The Times summed up his legacy in a etakchi maqola:

[H]istorically his achievement was to cut the bonds that from the times of Handel and Mendelssohn had bound England hand and foot to the Continent. He found in the Elizabethans and folk-song the elements of a native English language that need no longer be spoken with a German accent, and from it he forged his own idiom. The emancipation he achieved thereby was so complete that the composers of succeeding generations like Walton and Britten had no longer need of the conscious nationalism which was Vaughan Williams's own artistic creed. There is now an English music which can make its distinctive contribution to the comity of nations.^[179]

In 1994 a group of enthusiasts founded the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society, with the composer's widow as its president and Roy Douglas and Michael Kennedy as vice presidents. The society, a ro'yxatdan o'tgan xayriya tashkiloti,^[180] has sponsored and encouraged performances of the composer's works including complete symphony cycles and a Vaughan Williams opera festival. The society has promoted premieres of neglected works, and has its own record label, Albion Records.^[181]

Composers of the generation after Vaughan Williams reacted against his style, which became unfashionable in influential musical circles in the 1960s; diatonik and melodic music such as his was neglected in favour of atonal and other modernist compositions.^[182] In the 21st century this neglect has been reversed. In the fiftieth anniversary year of his death two contrasting documentary films were released: Toni Palmer "s O Thou Transcendent: The Life of Vaughan Williams va Jon Bridcut "s The Passions of Vaughan Williams.^[183] British audiences were prompted to reappraise the composer. The popularity of his most accessible works, particularly the Tallis Fantaziya va Ko'tarilish Lark ortdi,^{[n 21]} but a wide public also became aware of what a reviewer of Bridcut's film called "a genius driven by emotion".^[185] Among the 21st-century musicians who have acknowledged Vaughan Williams's influence on their development are Jon Adams, PJ Xarvi, Ser Piter Maksvell Devis, Entoni Peyn, Ueyn Shorter, Nil Tennant va Mark-Entoni Turnaji.^[186]

Bust of Vaughan Williams by Markus Kornish, "Chelsi"

The Royal College of Music commissioned an official portrait of the composer from Ser Jerald Kelli (1952) which hangs in the college. The Manchester Art Gallery has a bronze sculpture of Vaughan Williams by Epstein (1952) and the Milliy portret galereyasi (NPG) has drawings by Joyce Finzi (1947) and Juliet Pannett (1957 and 1958); versions of a bronze head of the composer by Devid Makfoll (1956) are in the NPG and at the entrance to the Music reading room of the Britaniya kutubxonasi.^[2][187] There is a statue of Vaughan Williams in Dorking,^[188] and a bust in Chelsea Embankment Gardens, near his old house in Cheyne Walk.^[189]

The Clements Park development in Uorli, Essex, has roads taking their names after the composer and his works, the most obvious being the main road "Vaughan Williams Way" which runs through the development. Vaughan Williams lectured in Brentwood on folk music, and collected 140 songs from villages in the region.^[190]
