THE City OF BIRMINGHAM Police BAND
Conducted by Richard WASSELL
HOLST has written two delightful, tuneful
Suites for the Military Band. Tho one now to be heard is made up of four pieces. Most of the tunes in them are old English.
The First piece is a lively, swinging March.
Two old tunes appear in this-those of Swansea Town and Claudy Banks.
The Second is a pensive Song without Words.

The Third is the bluff Song of the Blacksmith.

The Fourth is an exhilarating Fantasia on The Dargason, and introduces the fine old tune Greensleeves,
