THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Feb 15 [1940]

Dear Dowling

It is splendid that you can come to Dorking on March 16th.¹
We make the following cuts in Elijah
6-9  (‘Widow’ scene)
23-24  (The Lord hath exalted)
36-37  (Far from the Mountains)
40-41  (So that the 4tet “O Come” follows straight on to “Then shall the righteous”)
No 15  (Cast thy burden is sung in chorus)
Yrs

R. Vaughan Williams

1. VW had asked Dowling to sing in the Leith Hill Music Festival – see VWL1383.
