SUMMARY:The Wandering Scholar by Gustav Holst and Riders to the Sea by Ra
 lph Vaughan Williams
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Tiffany Blake\, Conducted by Wes Kenney\n\nTwo one 
 act operas by British composers. \n\nThe Wandering Scholar\, by Gustav Ho
 lst\, with libretto by Clifford Bax\, is based on a tale by Helen Waddell.
  The story\, set in a 13th century farmhouse in France\, involves Louis an
 d his wife\, Alison\, the town priest\, Phillippe\, who seems to want more
  than he should from dear Alison\, and the poor wandering scholar\, Pierre
 \, who uncovers the conspiracy with the priest. The Wandering Scholar was
  first performed in 1934\, but Holst was too sick to hear it live. He died
  before he had the chance to correct any of the insecurities he had with t
 he score. In 1968\, his daughter\, Imogen Holst and her friend\, Benjamin 
 Britten\, edited the score in order to address some of Gustav's earlier co
 ncerns.\n\nVaughan Williams has come to be regarded as one of the finest B
 ritish composers of the 20th century. Riders to the Sea\, a one act opera 
 from a play by J.M. Synge\, the story of a family's lament for sons lost a
 t sea off the Donegal coast. It's notable for the orchestral portraits of 
 the sea and the wind\, which ultimately lead to the Sinfonia Antartica\, a
 nd many think it Vaughan Williams’s finest theatrical work. The composer
  completed the score in 1927\, but it was not premiered until 1937 at the 
 Royal College of Music\, London.\n\nCSU System Passport eligible\n\n&nbsp\
