《云雀飛翔》是英國作曲家沃恩·威廉斯的作品,靈感源自喬治·梅里迪斯122行的同名詩歌《云雀飛翔》。在公開版的曲目扉頁上,他還引用了幾行梅里迪斯的詩。該曲由兩種版本:小提琴加鋼琴版,作于1914年;還有小提琴加管弦樂版,作于1920年?,F在聽到的多為后者。五聲音階形式的引入,把小提琴從基調中心解脫出來,這也是作曲家印象派風格的體現。在英國聽眾中,這是最受歡迎的古典保留曲目之一。
The Lark Ascending is a work by the English composer Vaughan Williams, inspired by George Meredith's 122-line poem of the same name about skylark. He included this portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf of the published work. The work was written in two versions: violin and piano, written in 1914; and violin and orchestra, written in 1920. The orchestral version is the one that is almost always heard now. The use of pentatonic scale patterns frees the violin from a tonal center, and shows the impressionistic side of Vaughan Williams' style. It is one of the most popular pieces in the Classical repertoire among British listeners.
