Hello all! I'm so happy to present my new and improved Piano Accompaniment for the Complete Songs of Travel cycle by Ralph Vaughan Williams, for Low Voice. The lyrics are taken from Robert Louis Stevenson's book of poetry of the same name. This set was published in 1904 and the final song was added later in 1960 after it's posthumous publication. The cycle is very popular amongst baritones, with both The Vagabond and Whither Must I Wander being favorites and staples of the repertoire.
✨I now have the complete HIGH KEY recorded as well; you can find that here: • Songs of Travel Comple... ✨
0:00 Intro
1:10 The Vagabond
4:14 Let Beauty Awake
6:10 The Roadside Fire
8:27 Youth and Love
11:25 In Dreams
13:49 The Infinite Shining Heavens
15:41 Whither Must I Wander?
19:50 Bright is the Ring of Words
21:35 I Have Trod the Upward and the Downward Slope
I just bought a new digital piano and knew I couldn't realistically re-record all of my accompaniment videos, but I really wanted to at least do this cycle. It's one of my favorites and the new sound alone makes it absolutely worth it. I've also improved on general tempo consistency and added more places to breath to make it easier to sing with overall.

I purchased your old accompaniment roughly 3 years ago for my recital, and was super happy with it! I wanted to practice the cycle again, and lo and behold, new music! Thank you for this!

@ChristinaPepper Месяц назад

Hi Lucas! I remember this - your recital was Songs of Travel and Dichterliebe, right? You really made the most out of those old tracks in a less than ideal concert situation, and sounded amazing 💕. I hope you like these updated recordings!

@BrendaBarotti 2 года назад

This is really well played and recorded. Of course tempo choices and interpretations may differ a lot, but this is very helpful in preparing the cycle again for performance.

@DavidBrown-yt7gn Год назад

Almost a year ago, you were kind enough to let me know you had redone this cycle, specifically "Whither Must I Wander," but I did not see your message until today. Thank you. As others have said, this is a great rendition and an improvement on your previous work on the piece. Thank you very much for sharing your talent and sensitivity with the rest of us.

@charlescoleman5509 6 дней назад

Overall well done Christina. I’m a composer and a baritone. And I’ve performed these amazing songs many times. My only criticisms is that for me, “Let beauty awake” and “The Roadside Fire” are way too slow in overall tempo. But the rest of it works for me, along with that great sounding piano you’ve got there. Brava!

@ChristinaPepper 3 дня назад

Thanks very much! Everyone has their tempo preferences of course, but 7 out of 9 isn't bad 😁

@beatnikbaritone Год назад

I don't know how someone can put so much interpretation and beauty into a cycle WITHOUT THE COLLABORATOR but damn did you nail it! If you ever rerecord this in the future, and I say this purely from an educational standpoint for young baritones, the 'Animando' in The Vagabond is just not quick enough. A good accompanist will pick up the pace and adjust to the singer's tempo, however a lot of undergrad accompanists will take off like lightning and we rocket blast into the wind together lol (otherwise its draaaaaags). But when I was singing along and the tempo didn't change it was very jarring. Any other suggestions wouldn't be there if you were accompanying a singer (like breaths or whatever) so don't worry about 'em! Overall, it's wonderful to be able to sing the whole cycle interpretively and with integrity! Brava & thank you!

You seem to be fond of chamber music. I'm learning a few for a recital (not this) and they feel like a chore! I like the song titles and concept. Good work too!

@FlowersInHisHair 2 года назад

This is amazing! Do you think you’ll ever record all of the pieces in the higher key? I know you have a few in the higher keys, which have been so incredibly helpful, I use them all the time!

@teaganrutkowski880 2 года назад

@@ChristinaPepper that would be awesome! I’m looking forward to it! I’m a soprano doing my Masters right now and my research is on performing the Songs of Travel as a female vocalist. :)

Hello! I'm not sure if you still need this but I've finally recorded the high key version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZsnGt2TLyj8.html

@sgosdis Год назад

Love this newer version on the newer keyboard. Sonds amazing. Very sensitive to the singer's needs for breathing and expression. Are you planning on doing the full high key version and selling it on your store as well?

@ChristinaPepper Год назад

Thank you, I'm so glad it was easy to sing with! And yes, recording the entire cycle in the high key as well is the plan. I have a lot going on the next couple months but I will aim for that to be one of my summer projects ☺️

Hi, and no, not yet! That's one of my planned summer projects. I have a few individual pieces recorded in the high key available that I recorded a few years ago though :)

Vaughn-Williams is very specific with notations, including staccatos. I’m wondering why, in The Vagabond, you’re adding staccatos in the RH that don’t exist? The challenge of playing The Vagabond is exactly that: the LH is staccato but the RH is NOT unless specifically notated. The staccatos added to RH are really bad every time the pattern similar to the g-minor to b-flat maj chord occurs. It causes emphasis to the second of the two chord progression that should not exist. The second chord is also NOT phrased with the third chord. It’s literally always two chords tied together, not three. I’ve coached this piece with multiple world-renowned coaches over many years (singers somehow quite often choose to perform it in master classes), and they all harp on the same things. Please consider even more specifics in your playing. Most of your recordings are great. This particular one, not so much. (The other choices in the cycle are very good. You play beautifully). Sorry -one more: in “whither..”, most singers grab a breath following “no more home to me” and the similar pattern throughout. It would be great if that time were added.
