Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Guthrie Foote (OUP)
Letter No.: VWL2075
August 14 [1950]
Dear Foote
I have corrected these – Isn’t it rather dangerous to send Grace Williams’ M.S. direct to the engraver without my seeing it? I am now scoring it and in the course [of] making several alterations!1
Yrs
R. Vaughan Williams
P.S. I have just cut out a bar 1st movement 5 bars before the end (♪♪♩♩) please tell engraver.
By the way there …2
1. This letter, though in Oxford University Press’s file 119J, refers to the cantata Sons of Light, Catalogue of Works 1950/3, of which Grace Williams apparently made a fair copy of the vocal score. See VWL2081.
2. Remainder not present, or possibly it was not completed.
