Sir HAMILTON HARTY 's Overture is among the most important contributions which Britain has made to contemporary European music. Light-hearted in character, it never loses sight of the dignity which may well go hand in hand with laughter, and with that dainty grace and freshness of which all really English music is eloquent. Remembering Sir Hamilton Harty 's brilliant achievements as conductor, it hardly needs mention that the work is characterized by a confident mastery of his medium, and that its effects are made with that certainty which betrays a skilled hand.
