Symphonie no 8 de Vaughan Williams

La Symphonie no 8 en ré mineur est une œuvre de Ralph Vaughan Williams, dédiée à Sir John Barbirolli.

La création en a été faite par le Hallé Orchestra sous la direction de John Barbirolli en mai 1956[1] au Free Trade Hall de Manchester.

Elle comprend quatre mouvements et son exécution dure environ une demi-heure[1].

  • Fantasia (Variazioni senza Tema)
  • Scherzo alla Marcia (per stromenti a fiato)
  • Cavatina (per stromenti ad arco)
  • Toccata

La composition de cette symphonie comporte quelques particularités : le premier mouvement étant un ensemble de variations sans thème, le second mouvement est réservé aux vents, le troisième aux cordes. Le compositeur fait également appel à nombreux claviers aux percussions (vibraphone, xylophone, glockenspiel, ...).
