THE WIRELESS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, conducted by JULIUS HARRISON
MARIE WILSON (Solo Violin)
PART I.
SOME pebple think of Sir Hubert Parry only as the serious one-time Director of the Royal College of Music.
There was another side to his nature, and a very delightful one. The English Suite shows that lighter side of Parry-his characteristically British straightforwardness, activity, and jolly tunefulness.
There are seven pieces in the full Suite-a lively
Prelude, a dainty Minuet, a stately Sarabande, a skittish Caprice, a graceful Pastoral, a slow folk-songy Movement of a Scottish tinge and, last of all, what the score calls a ' Frolic.'
