(From Birmingham)
THE BIRMINGHAM STUDIO ORCHESTRA
Conducted by FRANK CANTELL WELL and honourably known, not only in his own country, but abroad, too, as a composer of many really beautiful songs, Roger Quilter is no less thoroughly at home in composing for the orchestra. This Suite was written for a children's play which was produced in London at Christmas, 1911—a fairy story based on the old legend that at the end of the rainbow a treasure is always to be found. Four pieces from the incidental music were afterwards set in the form of a Suite. Their names are ' Rainbow .Land and Will o' the Wisp '; ' Rosamund '; 'Fairy Frolic ' and ' Goblin Forest.'
