Composer
Ralph Vaughan Williams
Collected English folk songs before they disappeared and built a national music out of them. He drove an ambulance in the First World War at the age of forty-one.
Ralph Vaughan Williams was an English composer. His works include operas, ballets, chamber music, secular and religious vocal pieces and orchestral compositions including nine symphonies, written over sixty years. Strongly influenced by Tudor music and English folk-song, his output marked a decisive break in British music from its German-dominated style of the 19th century.
