Composed by Gustav Holst. String music. Clifton Edition #C774. Published by Clifton Edition (ST.C774).
ISBN 9790570817740.
Phantasy on British Folksongs Op. 36, is based on four English Folk Songs. Composed in 1916 the music is beautiful and nostalgic. Holst apparently withdrew the work subsequently, claiming it was his ‘guilty secret’! This new edition was typeset by Chris & Frances Nex after the edition by Roderick Swanston at the behest of the Bridge Quartet. World premiere recording by the The Bridge Quartet is available on the EM Records label: The English Phantasy (EMRCD025). Duration: approximately 11 minutes. Composed in 1916 Roderick Swanston reconstructed this piece from the original sketches, which was performed at the Steinway Hall in 1917, and Imogen, Gustav's daughter, thought it worth making it into a Suite on Hampshire Folksongs for string orchestra. The four songs used appear in the order 'Eggs in her Basket' (also known as 'Bedlam City'), 'The Outlandish Knight', 'The Female Farmer' and 'Claudy Banks', returning in a different order before the conclusion.
