THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[About 8th September 1950]

Dear Mr Foote

At Gloucester on Thursday I discovered a mistake (my own) in the tenor part of the Fantasia: page 12 stave 2 bar 2 Tenor 2nd beat G should be E.

Could you tell the librarian of the Royal Choral Society?¹
Yrs sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams

1. VW had discovered the error the day after the first performance of his Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis at the Three Choirs Festival in Gloucester, and wished to ensure the parts to be used by the Royal Choral Society in the second performance (at a Promenade Concert on 15^th September) were amended.
