Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to A. Wynn (BBC)
Letter No.: VWL982
From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
Sep 20 [1936]
Dear Sir
I should be glad to conduct “Dona Nobis Pacem”1 on Nov 13th provided
(1) I have a full orchestra (with sufficient strings including your best players)
(2) I am allowed sufficient time for rehearsal (The work plays about 40 minutes)
As regards soloists – Mr Roy Henderson will be excellent – As regards Miss Renée Flynn I cannot remember ever having heard her sing – the type of voice required is like Mrs Baillie or Miss May Blyth capable of clear pp tone on high notes.
Yours faithfully
R Vaughan Williams
