On Wenlock Edge is a song cycle composed in 1909 by Ralph Vaughan Williams for tenor, piano and string quartet. [1] The cycle comprises settings of six poems from A. E. Housman's 1896 collection A Shropshire Lad. A typical performance lasts around 22 minutes. [2]
Vaughan Williams chose verses 1,2,5–8 (in the King James Version numbering) from Psalm 47, [2] a psalm calling to exalt God as the King of "all the earth" with hands, voices and instruments. [2] The Hebrew original mentions the shofar, which is given as trumpet in English. [7] He set the text in one movement in B-flat major, marked Allegro.
