THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

[?1947]

Dear Howells

Are these words any use to you – the tune need not be “hymny” – unison or 4 pt as you like – (if unison) the organ part as easy as is consistent with decency – keep the “harmonias”¹ in view.²

1. Either a particular group (unidentified) or the generic amateur choirs. The words referred to are not now with the letter.
