''Songs of Travel'' is a song cycle of nine songs originally written for baritone voice composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams, with poems selected from the Robert Louis Stevenson collection of the same name. A complete performance of the entire cycle lasts between 20 and 24 minutes. They were originally written for voice and piano. Vaughan Williams orchestrated the first, third, and eighth songs, and his assistant Roy Douglas later orchestrated the remaining songs using the same instrumentation. The orchestral version has often been recorded, but not always with Douglas acknowledged as its co-orchestrator. Notable performers of this cycle include Bryn Terfel, Sir Thomas Allen, Sir John Tomlinson, Roderick Williams and John Shirley-Quirk. ==Song listing== #The Vagabond #Let Beauty Awake #The Roadside Fire #Youth and Love #In Dreams #The Infinite Shining Heavens #Whither Must I Wander #Bright is the Ring of Words #I Have Trod the Upward and the Downward Slope (only to be performed in public after the eight other songs) All of the songs in the cycle exist in at least two keys, as all of the songs were transposed upwards to create a version for tenor voice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Songs of Travel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
