Though known nowadays for his considerable corpus of church music, Harold Darke's earlier years saw a proliferation of compositions for many and varied forces, a result of his fruitful study at the Royal College of Music.
Written as a belated 21st birthday present for Lois Calkin (a close family friend of Darke), these five pieces were penned in 1915 and sparkle with the ingenuity and joyful creativity that permeates Darke's other works of the period.
This edition marks their first publication and contains a brief background on the work's composition as well as a full list of editorial changes.
