Description

Thomas Frederick Dunhill (1 February 1877 – 13 March 1946) was a prolific English composer in many genres, though he is best known today for his light music and educational piano works. His compositions include much chamber music, a song cycle, The Wind Among the Reeds, and an operetta, Tantivy Towers, that had a successful London run in 1931. He was also a teacher, examiner and writer on musical subjects.
This Suite was premiered at the London Proms in 1919, and consists of four movements each of which explores a different aspect of dance. An opening Ballet is followed by a lively Rustic Dance. A boisterous Rigaudon follows, with a whirling Reel to finish.
