Vaughan Williams s lark soars skywards propelling itself towards the sky with a sense of aspiration and discovery as the single violin rises above the orchestra. Similarly as Sibelius saw a flock of sixteen swans taking flight, he thrust the swans sure but graceful ascent into the final movement of his optimistic Fifth Symphony.
