Ireland Minuet

The minuet is the 3rd movement from  A Downland Suite arranged for string orchestra.

Joubert Temps Perdu

Commissioned by the ESO in 1984, this piece is in 5 movements, a theme and 4 variations, and was first performed in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, conducted by William Boughton. Joubert's daughter Anna is one of the regular cellists with the ESO.

Elgar Serenade

The Serenade, in 3 movements,  is reportedly the first of Elgar's compositions with which he professed himself satisfied. The opening bars of the first movement will be familiar to most, particularly to listeners of a classical music station which uses it as introductory music! It is however the central Larghetto which is generally accepted as containing the finest and most mature writing. The work remains among the most frequently performed of all his music.

Finzi Romance

Finzi's music is devoted to creating beauty, and the Romance for Strings is one of his notable successes. Assigning an exact date to Romance is difficult due to Finzi's habit of revising earlier works later on but the piece makes its first appearance in a 1928 sketchbook.

Britten Simple Symphony

The symphony received its first performance in 1934 in Norwich and is based on eight themes which Britten wrote during his childhood (two per movement) and for which he had a particular fondness. He completed his final draft of this piece at age twenty.

Grainger Molly on the Shore

Written in 1907 by Grainger as a birthday gift for his mother, it is an arrangement of two contrasting Irish reels, "Temple Hill" and "Molly on the Shore" that present the melodies in a variety of textures and orchestrations, giving each section of the band long stretches of thematic and countermelodic material.
