William Walton. Two Pieces From Henry V. Score. Parts. Sheet Music. String Orchestra. STR ORCH. William Walton.

Original

William Walton was asked to write the music to accompany the 1944 Olivier film of Shakespeares Henry V. These two pieces, which are scored for strings only, were included in both the Concert Suites put together by Sir Malcom Sargent and Muir Mathieson, but have achieved a position of their own as a pair of delicate string works. The first is a Passacaglia and represents Falstaffs death - ingeniously it is entitled "Passacaglia - The Death of Falstaff" - and the second entitled "Touch her soft lips and part" accompanies the scene where the soldiers are departing for France and bidding farewell to their lady-loves. This edition has been re-typeset but otherwise is not changed from the original edition published by Oxford University Press. now out of print. It has not been simplified and is not an arrangement.
