It conveys the story of an Oxford scholar who abandons his friends and studies to live in the countryside surrounding the city as a gypsy. The work is unusual in the fact that the text is largely spoken by a narrator, with the chorus providing mostly wordless accompaniment. The result is a highly atmospheric and evocative work that combines pastoral simplicity with darker, more melancholic passages. Scores and parts for the string and chamber orchestra accompaniments are available on hire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130300076111,"sku":"9780193392052","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/315de87c2cbbabc94be541ccd8f495ba.jpg?v=1752096993","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/vaughan-williams-an-oxford-elegy-oup","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
