Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Horace Edward Randerson
Letter No.: VWL3782
From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
May 17 [about 1936]
Dear Randerson
If I remember right the English Hymnal has metronome marks which will give you the tempo which I considered right 30 years ago – but it seems to me that these things depend entirely on circumstances e.g. the size of the building & the number of performers. I thought a good tempo was adopted at the Philharmonic concert in January.
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
