The Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust has authorized the publication of the hitherto unpublished incidental music written by RVW for the pageant based on Pilgrim's Progress. This music contains some seeds of the later opera of the same name.

Published for the first time, Scenes Adapted from Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress (PME14) contains the complete script and extant musical numbers from the 1907 and 1908 productions in London. This publication is edited and considered for modern readers and performers. The script is restored and clarified, and includes detailed music cues. The score draws on several primary sources, and existing gaps are filled with additional music selections and fabrications in the Appendix. In the preface, Nathaniel Lew explains the sources and editorial decisions leading to this publication, all of which makes for both a scholarly and practical work.

Published by Promethean Editions in New Zealand and available through United Music Publishers.
