The study score of Veris Gratia, Op.9, by Kenneth Leighton. A suite for oboe, cello & strings.

"Composed in 1950, this work for oboe, cello and strings was first performed by the Newbury String Players the following year under Gerald Finzi, to whom it is dedicated. The original soloists were Celia Nicklin and Jacqueline du Pré. The music is mainly lyrical and was inspired by lines from Helen Waddell's Medieval Latin lyrics. Each movement is prefaced by a stanza reflecting some aspect of spring." - © Kenneth Leighton
