In 1910 Coleridge-Taylor was commissioned by Sir Herbert Tree (for some of whose productions he had already written incidental music) to compose music for Alfred Noyes' fairy play, The Forest of Wild Thyme. The play was not, after all, put on the stage by Tree, and the Composer issued some of his music under various titles - Scenes from an Imaginary Ballet and Christmas Overture, among others. These Dream Dances are another part of that incidental music.

QHAKESPEARE'S great tragedy strongly appealed to Coleridge-Taylor, and he welcomed the opportunity of providing the incidental music for the splendid production of the play at His Majesty's Theatre in April, 1911.
Afterwards, he made some of this music into an Orchestral Suite, which in its complete form contains five pieces: The Dance, Children's Intermezzo, Funeral March, The Willow Song, and Military March.
