About Dilwyn
Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Dilwyn is a sacred setting for SATB choir. A deeply devotional piece, it is built upon a traditional hymn melody, arranged with Vaughan Williams's characteristic harmonic language and thoughtful part-writing. The setting is devotional and would serve well as a thoughtful anthem or a congregational hymn. Its straightforward nature makes it accessible for choirs of varying abilities, offering a moment of calm reflection through its familiar, yet beautifully harmonised, melody. The work sits comfortably within the tradition of English sacred music, providing a dignified and moving experience.
