Please prepare to write a timed essay on Vaughan Williams in next Wednesday's lesson. You will have 30 minutes to do this (37 mins with extra time).

Title:
Evaluate Vaughan Williams' use of sonority, melody and harmony in 'Bredon Hill' in conveying the sense of Housman's text. Relate your discussion to other relevant works. These may include set works, wider listening or other music.

You can plan an opening context paragraph and the points for three paragraphs.
Please make sure you have wider listening examples ready to justify points.
