Appalachian Spring

St. Christopher's School 711 St. Christopher’s Road, Richmond, VA, United States

Two beloved favorites inspired by folk music – Vaughan Williams haunting Fantasia on Greensleeves and Aaron Copland’s tender Appalachian Spring – cradle and console the 1940 Clarinet Concerto by the 19-year-old Ruth Gipps, composed as her fiancé, and all of the Empire, departed for war.
