Title: Ralph Vaughan Williams: Job, A Masque for Dancing (1927/1930) Scena I View count: 160 Rating: 5.0 (2 ratings) Description: Ralph Vaughan Williams: Job, A Masque for Dancing (1927/1930) Scena I: Introduction - Pastoral Dance - Satans Appeal to God - Saraband of the Sons of God. Pious contemplation yields to a gaily skipping dance. The first climactic surge accompanies Job blessing his offspring. The initial contemplation is tainted by deep stabs on bassoons and basses: Satans appearance. The subsequent music - by turns aggressive, serene, threatening and grandiose - relates to the exchange between God and Satan.
