Norfolk Rhapsodies
The ''Norfolk Rhapsodies'' are three orchestral rhapsodies by Ralph Vaughan Williams drafted in 1905-06. They were based on folk songs Vaughan Williams had collected in the English county of Norfolk, in particular the fishing port of King's Lynn in January 1905. Only the first rhapsody survives in its entirety, having been revised by the composer in 1914. The second exists in fragmentary form, and has been completed by other hands. The third is lost.
The three rhapsodies together were originally intended to form a sort of folk-song symphony. The First Rhapsody corresponded to the first movement, the Second Rhapsody combines the second and third movements of the symphony, with the scherzo occurring as an inserted episode of the slow movement. The Third Rhapsody was the finale, using four tunes formed as a quick march and trio.〔Anon. "Cardiff Music Festival", ''The Musical Times'' 48, no. 777 (1 November 1907): 726–28, citation on 728.

==Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1 in E minor==
The first rhapsody was written in 1906, and revised in 1914. It was premiered in London in August 1906 conducted by Henry Wood, and was later substantially revised for a performance in Bournemouth in May 1914. It begins with an introduction based on two songs, "The Captain's Apprentice" and "The Bold Young Sailor", followed by the main allegro movement, employing three songs; "A Basket of Eggs", "On Board a Ninety-eight" and "Ward, the Pirate". Vaughan Williams had collected several of these songs in the North End of King's Lynn which was home to the majority of the port's fishing community.〔Chris Bishop, "(King’s Lynn pub where fishermen sang to Ralph Vaughan Williams could be turned into a shop )", ''Eastern Daily Press'' January 11, 2014〕
