thankyou for your comment and opinion but i believe Vaughan Williams wrote this piece after serving in the medical core during the war after the sights he had seen in the field -trichoone .
RVW composed this piece before the war in 1910. He didn't enlist in the Army till 1914. He could have avoided the war but chose to enlist in the Medical Corps. Then he was commisioned and commanded in the Artilery. This caused him to become deaf later in life.
Personally I think this piece goes with anything British! Be it war or peace.
Hearing Vaughan Williams really opened my ears to classical music and in reality there isn't a vast difference between it and a lot of more popular music is there .
exactly
how many 'rap' songs can provoke so much emotion as this, and most of rvw's other works
i love his music so much, and he makes me proud to be english :D

You should try the video with VW's 3rd symphony

It doesn't work. This is a pastoral piece. Try the video with Gorecki's 3rd Symphony and you might have a result.

@trichoone It was written in 1910. It is based on a work by a church musician and composer and not on war themes.
