Program notes:
Written in 1923, the English Folk Song Suite is one of
English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams most famous works for military
band. In 1924, the piece was arranged for full orchestra and brass band by
Vaughan Williams' student Gordon Jacob. The suite consists of three
movements: March, Intermezzo and another March, all of which are subtitled
with English folk song names. The first march is based upon Seventeen Come Sunday, the Intermezzo upon My Bonny Boy and the final movement on Folk Songs from Somerset. The suite was originally composed as a four-movement suite, including Sea Songs as the second movement.
