About Ralph Vaughan Williams
Ralph Vaughan Williams, britischer Komponist,studierte in Cambridge und am Royal College of Music in London, bei Max Bruch in Berlin und, nach längerer Tätigkeit als Organist, bei Maurice Ravel in Paris (1908). 1919 wurde er Kompositionslehrer am Royal College of Music in London, war 192028 Leiter des Bach Choir und kurzzeitig der Händel Society. Vortragsreisen führten ihn während der Zwischenkriegszeit in die USA. 1937 erhielt er den Shakespeare-Preis der Universität Hamburg, engagierte sich jedoch in der Folgezeit demonstrativ für die deutschen Emigranten, die vor dem nationalsozialistischen Regime nach England geflohen waren, sodass seine Musik 1939 in Deutschland verboten wurde.Vaughan Williams war einer der führenden englischen Volksliedforscher und setzte sich intensiv mit der Musik der Tudorzeit und Henry Purcells auseinander. Beides beeinflusste auch seine Kompositionen, die nach spätromantischen Anfängen bald zu einer klaren, durchsichtigen, klanglich differenzierten Stilhaltung tendieren, die gelegentlich impressionistische Anklänge mit tonal eigenständigen, aber stets überschaubaren und polyphonen Satztechniken verbindet. Er schrieb neun Sinfonien (u.a. Nr1: »A sea symphony« mit Soli und Chor nach Texten von Walt Whitman, 1909) und andere Orchesterwerke, Kammer- und Klaviermusik, Opern (u.a. »The pilgrim's progress«, 1951, nach John Bunyan), Oratorien, Chorwerke, Lieder (darunter Zyklen wie »The house of life«, 1903; »10 Blake Songs«, 1957), Ballette, Bühnen- und Filmmusiken. Er trug zu einer neuen Geltung der englischen Musik im 20.Jh. bei und bereicherte das englische Musikleben durch bedeutende Impulse, die u.a. von Michael Tippett und Benjamin Britten aufgegriffen wurden. Sein schriftstellerisches Hauptwerk ist der Essay »National Music« (1934), in dem er seine Auffassung einer sozial verankerten »nationalen« Musik darlegt.
