Conducted by Horace Samuels

The title refers to St. Paul's Girls' School, Hammersmith, where the Composer has for some years been the Director of Music. He wrote the Suite for the girls' Orchestra there.
There are four Movements in it.
The First is a capering Jig.
The Second is called an Ostinato, because one bit of time persists all the way through.
The Third piece is an Intermezzo.
The Finale is built on an old English dance-tune called The Dargason. The Composer has neatly woven with this another old melody - that of the song Green Sleeves, which Shakespeare mentions in The Merry Wives of Windsor.
