THIS Symphonic Suite is always popular wherever it is played. In every way an important work, dignified in design and admirable in its craftsmanship, it is all fresh and wholesome music, setting forth the ideas of its subject in the happiest way. In its melodious grace and its rhythmic vigour, listeners will easily discern some kinship with the well-known dances from the music for the Shakespeare plays, and the whole work is, in the best sense of the word, English in conception and character.
