THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

[1938]

Dear Atkins
I’ve been through the Psalm – I think it is rather good & well written for the voice – Of course it w^d never have been written except for the ‘Symphonie des Psaumes’- but is no worse for that.
– Also there are some silly wrong notes in the orchestral part – but my experience is that these are never heard – so I am on the whole in favour of it
