Your Morning Song 8: Ralph Vaughan Williams, “The Lark Ascending” (Contemplative)
Composers often enlist flutes or oboes to imitate bird songs. Vaughan Williams uses the violin cadenzas here to depict the upward soaring movement of the lark on its morning flight (original text by William Meredith). Stay in bed for an extra 18 minutes and luxuriate in this lovely performance.
