. . . I have an idea for an opera written to real words, with a certain amount of real English music and also a real English subject might just it the nail right on the head. . . and the whole thing might be folk-song-y in character, with a certain amount of real ballad stuff thrown in. . . an opera on more or less accepted lines and preferably a comedy, to be full of tunes, and lively, and one tune that will really come off… Ralph Vaughan Williams from a letter to Harold Child (librettist), 1910
