Five Mystical Songs - Complete Set

Five Mystical Songs – Complete Set (All 5 Movements)

Arranged by Andrew Anderson | For Baritone Solo, SATB Choir, and Wind Ensemble

Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs stands as one of the most profound works in the English choral tradition — a setting of George Herbert's devotional poetry that moves from quiet introspection to radiant affirmation. This complete arrangement for baritone soloist, SATB choir, and wind ensemble was commissioned by the Oklahoma State University Wind Ensemble under the direction of Dr. Joseph P. Missal, ensuring every movement has been crafted with the highest performance standards in mind.

Purchasing the complete set gives your ensemble the full arc of Vaughan Williams' vision: five movements that build, contrast, and resolve into a unified, deeply moving concert experience. Whether programmed in full or drawn from selectively, this is repertoire that will resonate with audiences and challenge performers in the best possible way.
