Baxendale's (Manchester) Works Band
Conducted by J. Jennings

Among the leading composers of the day who have turned their attention to the Military Band is Holst, who has written two delightful, tuneful Suites for this medium.
It is the Second of these Suites that will now be played. It is made up of four separate pieces. Most of the tunes in them are old English.

The First piece is a lively, swinging March.
Two old tunes appear - Swansea Town and Cloudy Banks.

The Second is a pensive Song Without Words.
The tune is I'll love my love.

The Third is the bluff Song of the Blacksmith.
The anvil is very aggressive.

The Fourth is an exhilarating Fantasia on The Dargason, and introduces the lovely old tune Greensleeves.
