Twenty early songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams
Kissing Her Hair, is a collection of early Vaughan Williams songs. One, Rondel, from which the title is gained, is unpublished and unrecorded; it is serenely beautiful and is as it was written when the composer was only 22. It will change perceptions of the quality of music Vaughan Williams was composing at this early age.

Folk-Carols and Folk-Songs
arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams
Eight Traditional English Carols
Six English Folk Songs
Twelve Traditional Carols from Herefordshire
Vaughan Williams had begun collecting folk-songs and carols in 1903. Many Folk-songs and Carols were collected in the early 1900s by Vaughan Williams and Ella Mary Leather who visited local gypsies in Herefordshire where together they rescued traditional songs that may well have disappeared forever.
These songs and carols remind us of our childhood and the power and beauty of songs sung by those generations long before our own.
