The well-known English nursery rhyme The Grand Old Duke of York is reinterpreted here by Alec Rowley for two treble Voices with Piano accompaniment. Like many popular nursery rhymes the origins of the song have been much debated and remain unclear. Often performed as an action song audiences can be asked to ‘act out’ the rhyme by standing up sitting down and standing halfway up at the appropriate points in the verse making it a fun experience for audiences and performers alike.Alec Rowley (13 March 1892 11 January 1958) was an English composer and writer on music. Apart from his frequent Piano recitals and broadcasts he was widelyknown for his compositions for amateur forces.

Handel’s opera Tolomeo from 1728 was premiered at the King’s Theatre in London. Exactly two hundred years later the celebrated art song composer Arthur Somervell adapted the tune of one of the arias Non lo dirò col labbro withEnglish words for the British drawing room. The theme of unrequited love remained intact but the two composers’ handling of theme was naturally different.This arrangement has been created for two-part Voice SA with Pianoaccompaniment that respects Handel’s original setting. More modern audiences may have become acquainted with the song from the 1990’s film Emma.
