Gustav Holst: Phantasy Quartet on British Folksongs

The Bridge Quartet.

Living abroad, this brought me much nostalgia for the countryside I love so much. Home is where the heart is, as they say.

Great work. The War leave his own sounds... eternal eco. Thumbs up. Hats off.

I was just wondering, where would I find a collection of these folk songs, is there a website, a place one can go to? Thank you for uploading this. Not many people know of Holst's lesser known stuff.

@@thehilligan Thank you thehilligan! Sorry for the late reply. I've been using that site to discover many things since you told me. Thanks again :)

Beautiful work... Holst wrote this for String Quartet in 1916, but after the perfromance, he pulled it out of his list of works, feeling it "insufficient" for the genre. His daughter, Imogen, later arranged it for string orchestra.
