MERRIE ENGLAND is the most successful light Opera written in England since
Sullivan died. It tells a tale of the spacious days of Good Queen Bess, when (as we like to believe) the English were a frolicsome folk and ready at any moment to ' kick their heels or smoothly prance in rustic rout or courtly dance.' Hence the high frequency of the dance music in this popular work of Edward Glynn.
