Five Variants on Dives and Lazarus
This is a small work for string orchestra by Ralph Vaughan Williams, based on the well-known folk tune Dives and Lazarus and first performed at the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. One of the variations uses a form of the tune traditionally associated with Maria Martin (see external links below).
