It was because he was a viola player that Coates wrote such interesting orchestral music; there were always good bits for the woodwind - bassoon etc - and the 2nd violins. What we might call the inner parts of the music.

Es ist meine erste Gelegenheit, diese kompakute Suite anzuhören. Erstaunlich fein komponiert und wunderschön interpretiert mit farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit effektiver Dynamik. Dieses Meisterwerk soll außer Großbritannien viel häufiger aufgeführt und viel höher geschätzt werden!

Coates was a fine composer of a certain type of music now rather disregarded - a form of snobbery. It’s very expressive of it’s time.

Thank you for uploading this! I hadn't honestly forgotten about this composer. It was good to be reminded of him. So many worthy composers fall through the cracks! "Too many composers, too little time"!

The melody first heard at 1:33 is a "street cry," used by vendors. I remember it as "Cherries Ripe."

Londoners, is this what it's actually like? If so, that's crazy.

1930's London that is.

@@bartjebartmans Much as Elgar's "Cockaigne" Overture expresses London at the turn of the 20th century. Bartje - great choice of pix!

For London just before the Great War (1914-18) try Ralph Vaughan Williams's 'London Symphony'

It probably was a vibrant place in Coates' time - not now though. WWII and then socialism destroyed all of that like it sucks the life out of every place where it rears its ugly head.

it’s more like Shostakovich these days…

Wonderful piece. There is a curiosity in regards to the engraving. In 2/4 times signature, it is easy to understand that you replace two 8th notes with three 8th notes to make a triplet. But what do you do in a fast 6/8? Look at rehearsal letter "F". In the measure before "F" Coates replaces three 8ths with two quarter notes. In the two measures after "F" he replaces three 8ths with two 8ths. So, those two figure take up the same amount of time although one is 8th note and the other quarter notes. Later on, about 7 measure later, he once again has two quarter notes. I am surprised that the publisher did ask him.... "choose one or the other, but don't keep both." Earlier, 8 measure after rehearsal letter "C" he replaces three 8th notes with four 8th notes. But in most music, it would be replaced with four 16ths (see Holst, "The Planets) for a good example.
