Part of
the British folk revival
of the early 20th
century, Gustav Holst's
(1874-1934) Somerset
Rhapsody consists of his
interpretations of three
English folk tunes from
the Somerset region: The
Sheep-Shearing Song, High
Germany, and True Love's
Farewell. Holst dedicated
this piece, his first
major critical success,
to Cecil Sharp, a
chronicler of English
folk music who collected
the songs that Holst
adapted. Holst intended
the cycle to tell a story
of a young couple whose
relationship is
interrupted by war.
Somerset Rhapsody
premiered in London in
April 1910.
