THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Sunday [13th August 1939]

My Dear Vally

Are you sure the ‘Gloria Patri’ does not belong to the Nunc Dimittis? I think the Gloria is always sung at the end of it just as it is after the Magnificat.
By the way there are some words omitted in the nunc
‘Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper’ etc.

P.S. Thankyou both so much for your card.
