Heirs and rebels : letters written to each other and occasional writings on music
"From the forty-year-old friendship between Vaughan Williams and Holst few letters survive: Holst kept less than fifty, Vaughan Williams less than a dozen. Even so, the correspondence gives a vivid impression of their deep, excited, and continuing interest in each other's work. These fragments of a lifelong conversation on music show the changing conditions from the nineties, when German influence dominated the scene, to the early nineteen-thirties, when English music was a firmly established and growing reality. The letters are supplemented by lectures and articles, unpublished or reprinted from sources long out of print. The book has been edited by Ursula Vaughan Williams and Imogen Holst." --Book jacket
