| Added by magataganm, 15 Nov 2017 Gustav Holst spent a good portion of his musical life dealing with students and other non-professional musicians. In 1903 he succeeded his good friend Ralph Vaughan Williams as the director of the school orchestra at James Allen's Girls' School in London. Two years later he became musical director at the St. Paul's Girls' School, a post he kept for the rest of his life. Along with his teaching, Holst continued to compose in his spare time, and around 1907, began to explore English and Scottish folk music. Those folk tunes started making their way into compositions like the St. Paul's Suite for string orchestra, written in 1912-13 for his students at the St. Paul's School. The suite opens with this, a slightly dark Jig (alternating between 6/8 and 9/8 time), based on a memorably rustic tune.

Although originally created for Strings, I created this Interpretation of the Jig from St. Paul's Suite (Op. 29 No. 2 Mvt. 1) for Viola & Piano.
