(Leader, Frank Thomas )
Conductor, Leo Wurmser
Vaughan Williams wrote his music for Job, a ' masque for dancing,' in 1930 and dedicated it to Sir Adrian Boult. The score, inspired by Blake's great ' Illustrations to the Book of Job,' paints an unforgettable musical picture of the main characters and events in the story: the quiet contentment of Job and his family, and the destruction of his wealth and his children by Satan; the hypocritical consolations of Job's comforters; Job cursing God. and Satan triumphantly seated on God's throne: Elihu's dance of youth and beauty. Satan's expulsion from Heaven, and Job's final reconciliation with God.
