(Led by MARIE WILSON )
Conducted by JOSEPH LEWIS

This work, which had its first performance a few months ago, is based on Manx foLk-songs. The first, ' The Good Old Way,' is an old and typical air written mostly in the Dorian mode. The second tune, which introduces the lively section of the work, is a reel, The Manx Fiddler.' The third tune, ' Sweet Water in the Common.' relates to the old practice of summoning a jury to decide questions connected with watercourses, bountlaries, etc. The fourth is a fine old hymn, ' The Harvest of the Sea,' sung by the fishermen as a song of the thanksgiving after their safe return from the fishing grounds.
