This programmatic symphony - music with a story - gives us a picture of London. Here is the city's nature: buttoned-up seriousness, busyness, and beauty. Vaughan Williams allows us to paint our own scenes: bells across morning mist-veiled Thames, the noise of parade-ground bands, and bustle of the West End. Then, nightfall.
