Phillip Sear plays a 1954 piano transcription by Harold Perry (1895-1956) of Vaughan Williams' famous 'Dorset song' from 1901. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think that the contrapuntal piano writing of the accompaniment to this song makes any independent piano transcription difficult, and Perry's effort is mainly a reduction of the vocal line into the accompaniment. He does however effectively move the vocal line to the tenor register at the beginning of the second verse. My thumbnail shows a 2013 photo of 'Linden Lea', one of two 14-storey tower blocks on the Goodwyns Estate in the south of Dorking, Surrey, England - both named after famous British early-20th century songs. The other is 'Wenlock Edge'. Both were built in 1965 to the design of William Ryder & Associates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
