    The March has a lovely air of Vaughan-Williams.

    I enjoy this arrangement for string orchestra and the one for brass band just about equally. Aren't we lucky to have both. Talking of luck, imagine the girls of Brook Green School, Hammersmith having GH as their music teacher. I hope they appreciated the singular honour. The Naxos English String Music series is full of superb music, much of it rarely heard.

    You can tell its the same composer as Brook Green. Those intervals between the violins are magic.

    Many thanks for this wonderful music. I rarely comment, but couldn’t bring myself to ignore mentioning the very, very rude intrusion of TH-cam ads in the very heart of this performance. Needless to say, the ads completely ruined the listening experience. It’s akin to having a delightful glass of wine taken away with a slap in the face. So sad. But again, thank you for this music.

    Does anyone know where this exact arrangement can be obtained? The Dennis Wright arrangement is clearly for a wind band and the Jacob one just doesn't retain any of Holst's magical qualities.

    • @adriendecroy7254

      From G.M. Brand. They incorrectly list it as the D Wright arrangement. I had a conversation with Michael Brand about it, and the previews show it's the Holst arrangement, so I bought it, and sure enough when it arrived it was Holst's one. Fantastic. There's an errata in the celli in the March, bar 181 should be arco.

    Despite the uncertainties about who arranged which pieces, this is still beautiful music. The two lively outer movements contrast well with the more intimate and slower Nocturne. Wonderful playing by the Northern Sinfonia under Lloyd-Jones....

    @Rodders There's an arrangement (by Philip Lane) of this available for String Orchestra at Boosey & Hawke but it was taken from the Brass Band version, and the scherzo is down a tone from this. I'd love to get this version, any ideas if the sheet music is available anywhere?

      I got some very interesting information from the publisher (G&M Brand). They said the original manuscript was only found in the mid 90's at Kneller Hall (HQ of British Army music) by renowned Holst scholar Dr. Jon C Mitchell. Hence the confusion about the piece's existence. First published 1999. I believe this recording is from this publication.

    Excuse me, everyone. I think that this version of "A Moorside Suite" was the one that was arranged for orchestra by Dr. Denis Wright in 1937.

    • @RoddersClassical
      @RoddersClassical  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Denis Wright arrangement is for concert band. According to the publishers, the manuscript of the composer's arrangement for strings was discovered in the 1990s. Colin Matthews, who had worked closely with Imogen Holst during her later life confirmed its authenticity.

    • @maxbenitez5913
      @maxbenitez5913 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your response, Mr. Rodders. From what I've read in the Wikipedia (an unreliable source) it was the composer who had completed an arrangement for military band of the entire Scherzo and only the first 38 bars of the Nocturne. It also says that Dr. Denis Wright and Gordon Jacob made orchestral arrangements of it in 1937 and 1952 respectively. I'm going to side with you as to what is factual concerning the subsequent arrangements of the original piece as the information that you provided makes more sense than what Wikipedia states.
