Tam
O'Shanter was first
performed at a Henry Wood
Promenade Concert on 17
August 1955, with Malcolm
Arnold conducting the
Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra. It was
received with tremendous
enthusiasm, and was,
without doubt, the most
popular novelty during
the 1955 season of
Promenade Concerts. The
composer is at pains to
point out that, whereas
the earlier overture
Beckus the Dandipratt is
not descriptive but
merely a musical
impression, Tam O'Shanter
is very definitely
programme music.
