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 -Three Dream Dances and Scenes from an Imaginary Ballet, among others. This Christmas Overture is another part of that incidental music. There are in the complete suite five pieces.
