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.
Holst composed this and nearly all subsequent works in this studio.
Now available in a newly-engraved, easy-to-read score edited by
Richard Sargeant.
Gustav Holst's first excursion into music for band (known as
"military band" at the time) was composed in 1909. Despite there
being very little standardization of the instruments and number of
players used in such ensembles, Holst managed to score his
three-movement work in a very flexible way so that the work could
be played by an ensemble with as few as 19 wind and brass players,
plus percussion. Although the occasion and ensemble which motivated
the work's creation remain obscure, the 'First Suite' became
tremendously popular in the years after its first publication in
1921.With the advent of public school bands in the USA, the
original publisher added numerous parts for instruments not found
in the original manuscript and provided substitutes for some
originally designated instruments which had become obsolete over
the years, producing a bloated full score in 1948. Richard
Sargeant's newly engraved edition goes back to Holst's small band
concept, with substitutions made to match the parts disposition and
timbre of original score. Now available at an affordable price in a
convenient format, this score will be welcomed by bands, wind
ensembles and devoted fans of a work which is now part of the core
repertoire worldwide.
