A fascinating & characteristically in depth discussion of Song 51 in the Roud Index, which gives me an excuse to share one of my favourite Vaughan Williams pieces, based on a very beautiful, timeless tune that’s often used for this song. 💚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YloD...

Gearing up to record my interview with next week’s singer guest. It’s the ballad Lord Bateman (Roud 40, Child 53) but who is the guest? If you’ve finished today’s episode already, you’ll know who. Otherwise, my only clue is… Star Trek!
