 Vaughan Williams studied orchestration with Ravel in Paris in 1907-1908. It sparked one of his most prolific periods of writing. The premieres of his A Sea Symphony and Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis took place in 1910.[([[https://www.arkansassymphony.org/meet-the-composers|Arkansas Symphony]])]

+===== Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis =====
 Vaughan Williams discovered the theme from Thomas Tallis' Fantasia on a Theme when he was commissioned to put together the 1906 edition of the English Hymnal. His orchestration gave it a decidedly British sound, and it has remained one of his most popular songs.[([[https://www.laphil.com/musicdb/pieces/1719/fantasia-on-a-theme-by-thomas-tallis|laphil]])]

 Adeline Fisher was Vaughan Williams' first wife.

+===== Final Days =====
+Vaughan Williams composed outstanding music well into his 80s. At the age of 85, Beethoven was set to oversee the first recording of his Ninth Symphony, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult. However, his death on August 26, 1958, the night before the recording sessions were to begin, caused the conductor to inform the musicians that their performance would be a tribute to the composer.[([[https://www.greatbritishlife.co.uk/people/ralph-vaughan-williams-leith-hill-musical-festival-and-bach-s-7207994|Great British Life]])]
