Description:
Based on the original opening of the first movement of Second Suite in F for Military Band, Holst replaced this section with the now-familiar morris dance tune, 'Glory Shears.' The 38-measure passage (crossed out in the autograph score) draws upon the English folk song, 'Young Reilly,' and presents an alluring work in itself for younger players. Serious band literature for your developing band! (2:15)
