In 1854 the triptych, which was completed with the parts entitled…

Of all his early chamber works, the 'Nocturne' is most clearly by the mature Vaughan Williams, almost anticipating the influence of Ravel which followed his lessons from the French composer in 1908.

The French titles and tempo markings in this four-movement, twenty-minute-long trio point to the composer's particular affinity to French culture. The 'Prélude? is followed by an impressive 'Invocation?, an homage to Schlee's highly regarded former teacher Olivier Messiaen in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of his birth. This movement, composed somewhat earlier than the others, was the depa…
