The Lark Ascending

The Music of the British Landscape

Richard King
Since its premiere in 1921 Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending has come to define a utopian concept of rural England. Richard King explores the way later artists, particularly musicians, continued to reimagine the ‘living, working and occasionally rancorous’ natural world as a symbol of freedom – an interpretation expressed by the mass trespass of Kinder Scout in 1932, the songs that unified the Greenham Common protesters, and the establishment of the Glastonbury festival.
