Now Comes Beauty was originally composed as a song for voice and piano (GM055), but I have since made versions of it for unaccompanied mixed voice choir (GM052) and for string orchestra (GMCO090). In August 2011, Em Marshall, director of the English Music Festival and chairman of the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society, married violinist Rupert Luck, in the Church of St. Levan in the far western reaches of Cornwall. In celebration of this occasion, I arranged this simple but passionate song for violin and piano, as a quiet reflection on love and new beginnings. Paul Carr
