At The Dance (Summer Days Suite)

Here we go with an Orchestral piece from the pen of Britain's finest writer of light music, Eric Coates (1886 - 1957). This wonderful concert waltz comes from one of his earlier works, the 1919 "Summer Days Suite" and displays all of the hope and joy of a country just emerging from the first World War. This was the year he gave up his career playing viola professionally to concentrate on his writing.

Here the organ shows a little of why they were called "Unit Orchestras" and this virtual Robert Morton sample set does it so well.
