Music of the British Isles
The folklorist composers of the British Isles, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Cyril Scott, William Mathias, Hamilton Harty and York Bowen are featured on the latest release by flutist, Richard Sherman. The composers of the British Isles, especially those of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, incorporated the folk music of England with cultural and local music traditions. This development of a nationalist style in the British Isles can be heard in obvious and clear ways; In Ireland by Hamilton Harty. And in more subtle and masked ways; Sonata for Flute and Piano, Op. 120 by York Bowen.
