Vaughan Williams - Roots & Branches

OXUS will perform the fourth movement of Quartet No.1 in G minor, the Phantasy Quintet and excerpts from Dives and Lazarus.  Moonrakers will perform new arrangements of songs such as “The Leaves They Do Grow High”, “The Turtle Dove”, “Two Sisters” and “The Unquiet Grave”. The show also includes some new music written by Moonrakers members, Jon Bennett and Jacqui Johnson.

Brief introductions on the source of the materials will form part of the show and will take the audience on a journey from traditional to contemporary interpretations of ‘living tradition’ material.
