Brook Green Suite

Brook Green Suite

Gustav Holst's Brook Green Suite was written in 1933 for St Paul's Girls' School junior orchestra.

The movements are:
#Prelude
#Air
#Dance

The first movement starts at C major. The composer used music resembling English folk melody with harmony in the second movement.

In early 1929, Holst heard a tune during a puppet show and he utilised it in the last movement.
