THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates
Dorking

Feb 5. [1944]

Dear Wood

I agree that the oboe concerto would not be suitable for the Albert Hall – would you tell me (quite at your leisure) whether you would consider a suite made out of my “Flemish Farm” film¹ as a “new work” under the terms of the act?²  It is, I think, some of the best film music I have written & w^d make a good suite.

1.  Music for the film Story of a Flemish Farm.
2. Wood was apparently asking for a new work for the Promenade concerts.
