Arthur Bliss 's ' Serenade ' was first performed in 1930. Dedicated to the composer's wife, it is divided into four movements. First comes an Overture for orchestra, ' The Gallant ', which represents the serenader himself. The second number is a setting of Spencer's sonnet ' Fair is my Love'. The third number is an Idyll for orchestra, with these lines as its motto: And thus our delightful hours full of waking dreams shall pass '. The fourth number is another song, the text of which is by Sir John Wotton entitled ' In Praise of his Daphnis '.
