Product Overview

Composer: Ralph Vaughan Williams arr. Julia Roper

Composition Style: Christmas

Difficulty: Medium/Difficult

Notes: When listening to Sussex Carol, the joy of Christmas certainly bursts forth through the music and lifts one’s spirit. The melody’s origin is unknown, however, upon hearing the melody sung in Monk’s Gate, Sussex, English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams transcribed the melody and fleshed out the harmonisation to encapsulate the essence of the lyrics. The key to keeping the music skipping along is ensuring a light approach with a natural accent on the first beat of each bar. It needs to be playful and jolly – a cheerful celebration.
