Ascending
1 sound
A beautiful spot, ripe for picnic blankets and sky-gazing. These views were painted by JMW Turner in the 1790s.
Also, the BEST place in Sheffield for sledging!
'The Lark Ascending', inspired by a poem of the same name by George Meredith, was begun shortly before the outbreak of the First World War but not completed until Vaughan Williams returned from active service in France. This performance is by Nicola Benedetti with the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrew Litton.
