Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958)
Vaughan Williams in the 1920s
In 1919 Ralph Vaughan Williams, by now nearly 50 years old, was demobilised from the British Army. His widow Ursula has since written that his work as a medical orderly on the French front had given him a vivid awareness of how men died. But undaunted by his experiences, he returned to pick up from where he'd left off in 1914, immersing himself in British musical life, and beginning a decade of composition that would become one of his most prolific.
The expressive range of his music developed, and his compositions reached new heights of visionary, mystical, ardour. Donald Macleod looks into this hugely significant period for one of Britain's greatest composers.

And the first in our Pictures of Britain series, the novelist Beryl Bainbridge casts her writerly eye over a piece of Britain that has shaped her imagination.

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)
Berlioz's Religious Music
Donald Macleod and the Berlioz expert David Cairns consider Berlioz's contribution to religious works. Although he's often considered primarily as a dramatic composer, nonetheless Berlioz produced three of his greatest works for the church, the Grand Messe des Morts or Requiem in 1837, the Te Deum of 1849 and the biblical oratorio l'Enfance du Christ between 1850-1854.
