I got me Flowers (from Five Mystical Songs) - Ralph Vaughan Williams

For baritone, choir ad lib. and concert band.

Ralph Vaughan Williams completed the Five Mystical Songs for baritone, chorus and orchestra in 1911. In the second song I got me Flowers there are incessant changes of time-signature, though the vocal line runs on with the flexibility of plainsong and with a generally syllabic underlay of the words and the use of short melismata to break it up.
