The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
November 26th, 1931.
Dear Sir,
I am conducting a concert for the Dorking Music Club at Dorking Halls on Dec. 4, and I wish to include the following items which I believe are copyright:
Wagner Meistersinger overture
Brahms Akademische Overture
Elgar Pomp & Circumstance No.2 in A minor
Milford 2 pieces from “A Prophet in the land” (O.U.P.)
Mullinar Where go the boats
Head “Money O”
Somervell The Street resounds
Vaughan Williams The Watermill
If any of these are under your control, I should be glad to know, before deciding to include them, what fee is payable.
Yours faithfully,
(sgd) R. Vaughan Williams
