A beautifully written exploration of the world of Edwardian folk music, and its influence on the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams
In January 1905 the young Vaughan Williams, not yet one of England''s most famous composers, visited Norfolk to find folk songs ''from the mouths of the singers''. An old fisherman, James ''Duggie'' Carter, performed ''The Captain''s Apprentice'', a brutal tale of torture sung to the most beautiful tune the young composer had ever heard.
With this transformational moment at its heart, the book traces the contrasting lives of the well-to-do composer and a forgotten cabin boy who died at sea, and brings fresh perspectives on folk-song collectors, the singers and their songs.
