Conducted by The Composer

The Augmented Station Orchestra
Suite Venetienne (Venetian Suite)
Ask any practising musician who 'Willie Reed' is, and he will answer: 'The leader of the London Symphony Orchestra; a first-class violinist; the man who gets up at a moment's notice to conduct anything in the world when a 'star' conductor is ill or has lost his train; the composer of Aesop's Fables, The Lincoln Imp, a Violin Concerto, and other works full of bright ideas and sound musicianship; the director of high musical enterprises round about Croydon'-and so on. He was born in Somersetshire and educated in Cardiff. He can therefore be claimed by both sides of the channel covered by the Cardiff Station.
His Venetian Suite contains four pieces: (1) Approaching Venice; (2) Serenade; (3) Gondola Song; (4) Carnival.
