Next we have “Fantasia on Christmas Carols”, a single movement folk song-based choral composition by Ralph Vaughan Williams 🇬🇧 (https://youtu.be/KaTxLnvM3UA?si=L07Q2saH80dMrmuu). It’s part of a series of English folk carols collected and arranged by RVW and his friend & collaborator musicologist Cecil Sharp (November 22, 1859-June 23, 1924)🇬🇧. It features several quotations of other carols (“The First Nowell”, etc).

If this sounds a little RVW-y in parts it’s likely because Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst were besties who influenced each other. Here’s a really cool 2017 BBC documentary about their friendship and their works (https://youtu.be/azkV3iZJzFQ?si=hH4DbIbY_azGJwdW) A book about their friendship featuring their letters “Heirs and Rebels” can be read for free here (https://archive.org/details/heirsrebelslette0000gust)

Pregnancy is stressful. Can anyone who has gone through a pregnancy or helped someone go through a pregnancy, even if relatively uncomplicated, imagine how much stress a fatal diagnosis and then government interference with your medical care would add to that?
