Conductor, B. WALTON O'DONNELL
HILDEGARD ARNOLD (violoncello)
F. Purcell Warren , a most promising young composer, volunteered for service in the War while still a student at the Royal College of Music. He was killed in action. These charming pieces, first played by May Mukle , are amongst the few compositions he left, all of which reveal distinction and shattered hopes of bigger things.
'Shepherd's Hey', or 'British Folk Music Setting',.as Grainger calls it, is built on four variants of an old Morris Dance collected by Cecil Sharp. The Hey was a popular country dance in Elizabethan times, probably not unlike a reel in its vigour and energy.
