Holst wrote a comic opera 'The Perfect Fool' in 1918-22. It begins with a ballet which is danced by Spirits of Earth, Water and Fire. It starts with a wizard (who sounds like Uranus the Magician from Holst's Planets) who summons the Spirits of the Earth with a trombone. Later, a solo viola calls up the calmer Spirits of the Water. The third section is the dance of the Spirits of Fire.
This edition is faithful to Holst's original; he indicated that the following instruments were optional - 2nd Flute, 2nd oboe, Bass clarinet, Contra bassoon, Trumpets 3 and 4, Xylophone and Celeste. Additional cues have been provided to cover the absence of a Cor Anglais - but it just wouldn't sound as good would it?
Duration: 10 1/2 minutes
A PACK comprises one full score, string parts 4/4/3/4/2 and any wind, brass and percussion parts.
