Ralph Vaughan Williams a contribué au renouveau de la musique traditionnelle anglaise. Lors de ses nombreux voyages à travers le pays et plus particulièrement à travers les campagnes du Norfolk il recueille des chansons de tradition orale auprès de tous les corps de métiers. Il en intègre les plus belles dans sa propre musique notamment dans A Norfolk Rhapsody et dans la Symphonie n° 1 « A Sea Symphony ». Songs of the East Coast Fishermen (?Chants des marins-pêcheurs de la Côte Est?) de Philip Sparke est une suite basée sur cinq de ces chants notamment la célèbre mélodie King?s Lynn harmonisée par Ralph Vaughan Williams.

20th century English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams is perhaps best known for his symphonies and large-scale choral works however the essence of his music can also be found in his songs. His 1903 House of Life cyclefeatures 6 songs out of which the most famous one is the second Silent Noon. Composed before the rest of the cycle and first published separately this piece in E-flat major for Voice and Piano can easilystand alone. By using the sonnet of renowned 19th century English painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti Williams celebrates the beauty of the English language and advances toward the true 20th century Englishart song. All of the songs in House of Life are written for sonnets from Rossetti?s sonnet-sequence of the same name and thus the continuity of the cycle is enforced both by the music and the lyrics. At the same time thesimilarity given by the strict rules of the Petrarchan sonnet-form emphasises the differences in mood meaning and music between the six songs. Even though the (male) narrator in Silent Noon is optimistic andhopeful some of the variations in the passages suggest the despairing of love in Song 6 (?Love?s Last Gift?) which gives this piece an interesting lyrical atmosphere.
