T: It is upside down, as if the collector just seized his book to dash off a notation in a hurry.The first part of
T: the tune, however, is extremely familiar, since it is clearly the basis of the third theme in the composer's
T: "Wasps" overture. Some of the variations are conjectural interpretations.

Notes on RVW2/1/35 This is a difficult MS to transcribe. It is difficult to decypher, and to make it at all meaningful
a certain amount of interpretatio is necessary. Note particularly: (a) where the transcription has substituted a rest for
the crotchet at the anacrucial start; (b) the introduction by the transcribers of grace notes; and (c) the altered
syllabification. (This is a notoriously contentious area of music publication in England since many music publishers insist
on using prose hyphenation instead of phonetic hyphenation.)

RVW2/1/42 The Trees They Do Grow High

File:RVW2-1-42.mid

File:RVW2-1-42.pdf

File:RVW2-1-42.xml

Notes on RVW2/1/42 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 directly 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.

Notes on RVW2/1/49 The barlines (successive bars of 3/4 and 5/4) in the MS are erratically positioned and have been edited in this transcription to produce two bars of 4/4. The song has anacrucial phrasing throughout so a time signature of 4/4 is far easier to understand.
