Jacobson also worked as reader & editor for Curwen, the publisher. He prepared the English version of Vaughan Williams’ Mass in G Minor, working closely with the older composer. This was then sung at The Queen’s Coronation in 1953. @RVWinfo @RVWFestival @RVWSociety @RVWtweets

It’s a nice thought that RVW and Imogen Holst founded the Cheltenham Music Festival, but it’s not in any way true.

Thank you to everyone involved in @leomuseum's 'Creative Collaborations' concert in @LeoPriory last Friday. It celebrated the work that @RVWtweets & Ella Mary Leather did to save Herefordshire folk music a century ago. Wonderful programme & performances. A joy to listen to....
