Product Description
by Gustav Holst (Author), Richard W. Sargeant Jr. (Editor)
Holst's popular suite was named for the St. Paul's Girls' School of Hammersmith, London - where he was the music director from 1904 until his death thirty years later. Composed in 1912 as a token of gratitude for the installation of a sound-proof teaching studio, where Holst composed this and nearly all subsequent works. The four movement suite was also premiered at St. Paul's by the school orchestra under Holst's direction in the winter months of 1913. Now available in a newly-engraved, easy-to-read score edited by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. which is based on the composer's manuscript and first edition score and parts. The orchestra parts and study score are also available from Serenissima Music.
