''Note'' This tune is missing from the VWML catalogue, but can be found on the same MS page as RVW2/1/23. <br>
The catalogue also omits item 24. The editors have assumed that this is a mistake or the result of a <br>
computer error. As such, the editors have assigned the missing number to this tune.

''Notes:'' This MS is defective, and the barring is profoundly incorrect. The MS contains musical inconsistencies,<br>
notational errors and spelling mistakes; much of it is barely legible. The original field notation is in pencil and the first<br>
half of this was revised and rewritten in ink, and there are clear signs of problems. The second half is almost certainly faithful<br>
to the performance of the singer, and illustrates graphically why pencil notation is inferior to audio recording. The version<br>
provided here is the best that the transcribers could make of what is either a work in progress or an unfinished effort that Ralph<br>
Vaughan Williams abandoned. The transcribers have tried to iron out the most egregious problems using the lightest of touches, but the<br>
result is neither academically trustworthy nor plausibly singable. However, it is provided here because it contains many interesting<br>
fragments that may assist students of variants or enthusiasts who enjoy making conjectural restorations.<br>

Note This tune is missing from the VWML catalogue, but can be found on the same MS page as RVW2/1/23.
The catalogue also omits item 24. The editors have assumed that this is a mistake or the result of a
computer error. As such, the editors have assigned the missing number to this tune.

Notes: This MS is defective, and the barring is profoundly incorrect. The MS contains musical inconsistencies,
notational errors and spelling mistakes; much of it is barely legible. The original field notation is in pencil and the first
half of this was revised and rewritten in ink, and there are clear signs of problems. The second half is almost certainly faithful
to the performance of the singer, and illustrates graphically why pencil notation is inferior to audio recording. The version
provided here is the best that the transcribers could make of what is either a work in progress or an unfinished effort that Ralph
Vaughan Williams abandoned. The transcribers have tried to iron out the most egregious problems using the lightest of touches, but the
result is neither academically trustworthy nor plausibly singable. However, it is provided here because it contains many interesting
fragments that may assist students of variants or enthusiasts who enjoy making conjectural restorations.
