A brilliant student of the Royal Academy of Music, where his principal instrument was the viola, Eric Coates soon found himself in the front rank of players, and was for some years principal viola of the Queen's Hall Orchestra. He was a distinguished chamber music player, too. While still a member of the Queen's Hall Orchestra he had a good deal of his own orchestral music produced at its Promenade and other concerts. Since 1919 he has practically given
Up playing, and has devoted himself to composition. Much of his music is in lighthearted vein, graceful and melodious, and all marked by thoroughly sound workmanship.
There are no separate movements to this suite of Old English Dances, which is played without a break. The tunes used include Chelsea Reach, Round 0, Crosbey Square, The Princess, Sellenger's Round, and Pop goes the weasel.
