Vaughan Williams' chorale prelude on the 19th-century Welsh hymntune "Rhosymedre" is well known in instrumental settings for organ, orchestra, concert band, and various chamber ensembles and solo instruments. The composer contrasts the steady simplicity of the hymntune, stated in longer values, with an elegant filigree of countermelodies and contrapuntal voices. This orchestration by Arnold Foster is scored for full orchestra but also may be effectively performed by strings alone.
