Between 1905 and 1934, Gustav Holst was Director of Music at St Paul’s Girls School in Brook Green, London. St Paul’s Suite, written for the school’s string orchestra, was premiered there in 1913 and consists of four movements: an energetic Jig in 6/8 and 9/8, Ostinato, based on a simple 4-note theme, Intermezzo, an energetic and rhythmic dance and Finale, adapted from the Second Suite in F in which Holst brilliantly combines The Dargason and The English Dancing Master, with the traditional melody, Greensleeves.

Tussen 1905 en 1934 was Gustav Holst hoofddocent muziek aan de St Paul’s Girls School in Brook Green, Londen.

Het werk bestaat uit vier delen: een energieke Jig in 6/8 en 9/8; een Ostinato, gebaseerd op en simpel motief van vier noten; een levendig, ritmische dans in het Intermezzo; en de Finale, een bewerking van de Second Suite in F, waarin Holst op briljante wijze The Dargason uit The English Dancing Master combineert met de traditionele melodie Greensleeves.

For comparison, Hindemith begins the 'Suite franzosischer Tanze' with the original movements by Pierre d'Attaignant. This is meant to be a demonstration and motivation for the player of today to add on his own little improvisa-tions or ornaments according to his playing skill as it is done with village dance music but even with jazz.The instruments can be freely chosen; this arrangement (piccolo and flute, oboe, English horn, bassoon, trumpet and lute) tries to imitate a group consisting of recorders, shawm, crumhorn, dulcian etc.
