Keith Palmer from the local folk group Broomdashers chatted about the concert at Chelmsford Cathedral on Saturday 4th of March at 7.30, Pub to Pulpit.
This part of a nation-wide Cathedral tour. Vaughan Williams came to talk at a school in Brentwood in which he said he was looking for English music. The Vicar in Ingrave introduced him to a 74 year old labourer Charles Potiphor who sang Bushes and Briars. This so-called “Ingrave Epiphany” in 1902 influenced Vaughan Williams compositions for the rest of his life. He went on to collect 800 folk songs.
Broomdasher – Our captain calls all hands. This track is one of the folk songs collected by Vaughan Williams. When Hymns Ancient and Modern was published, over thirty of Vaughan Williams tunes were used for hymns. These included our next track.
Choir- To be a pilgrim
Both these tracks are on the CD – Ingrave Epiphany – produced to accompany the tour.
