Flos Campi is a work that fully represents Vaughan Williams'sliighly individual style. It was first performed at Queen's Hall in 1925, and four years later at Geneva in the International Festival for Contemporary Music. Each of the six sections into which the work is divided is prefaced by a quotation from the ' Song of Solomon', ', indicating the mood of the music. There are no words sung ; the voices of the choir are used as part of the instrumentation and are made to sing or hum with closed lips on vowel sounds only.
