   What is the Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams about?

   • In light, and then the fancy sings. Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending is a gentle, introspective work. The solo violin flutters and soars, evoking the lark of Meredith’s poem. The winds and supporting strings float peacefully beneath the solo part in long and languid lines.

   How does Vaughan Williams play a lark?

   • Chirrup, whistle, slur and shake is true enough when you hear a real lark; yet Vaughan Williams allows everything to unfold as if in slow motion. The piece’s structure is simple: the violin soars like a bird above the orchestral landscape, and a central, contrasting section seems to evoke a rural idyll through a melody that resembles a folksong.
