Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958) : Hodie - A Christmas Cantata

Vaughan Williams's Christmas Cantata Hodie (This Day) is a brilliant mosaic of musical styles set to poetry from the most diverse sources. Texts by Milton, Hardy and George Herbert reflecting various Christmas experiences are bound together by a naration of the Gospel Nativity story. With its gripping blend of mysticism, heavenly glory and human hope, Hodie flows with a vitality and inventiveness that belie a work written in Vaughan Williams's old age.
