Holst was the Music Teacher at St.Paul's School for Girls in West London, and this was written for his pupils to perform. The school was where General Montgomery gave his final exposition of his plans for D-Day to an audience including King George VI, Churchill, Eisenhower etc, possibly exactly where those girls practised Holst's music.
Good background, thank you, though unfortunately the last suggestion can't be right. Montgomery's headquarters was the boys' school on the south side of Hammersmith Road. Holst was a teacher at the girls' school, a little way to the north, on Brook Green. I used to live on the former site of the boys' school, but the girls' school is very much still there.
My string ensemble is playing this piece this semester. Nice to hear how it's actually supposed to sound. :3 Although to me, this piece is pretty monotonous.
@@callummcsherry4354 he believes there should should be more dynamics throughout the song that they could add. So on some measures they could Crescendo then decrescendo in the next to create some more emotions. Especially on half notes and whole notes. You want to Crescendo into the middle of a half or whole note and then decrescendo to the original dynamic. It’s adds more feeling and makes it less monotonous. Sorry if this answer was late this is the first time I’m seeing this video😂
I thought the conducting was pretty good here 😀Certainly not over-conducted which is a peril many fall into. In the last movement I think you could have given more support to the 1-in-a-bar Greensleeves theme; it's sometimes difficult to feel where that upcoming barline is, and it sometimes feels like you're leaping into the unknown whenever one does it... The 1:2 tempo relationship in the Intermezzo was really good, too. Good idea!
This is the best performance of this piece I have yet heard. Have you considered recording a series of English classic string works? If you can bring this energy to more performances it would help to dispel the notion that early 20th-century music is all 'cows looking over gates'! Thnak you again.

Thanks for sharing!

A quintessentially piece of English music beautifully played, thank you!
Many thanks!
A wonderful performance and great tribute to a great composer!
Wonderful! Simply thrilling. My thanks to the NYCP!
Our pleasure!
How nice that the cellists and bassist get put on a pedestal.
Way in the back?
I love this song
Glad you like it.
Holst and Vaughn Williams were good friends. I wonder how they felt about each others treatment of "Greensleeves"? Great performance guys!
Thank you for sharing. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Masterful Performance!
Listened to this video quite a few times and thoroughly enjoy it.
Especially the finale
I had to learn this in 2 weeks
1 for me
Thanks a lot. ❤️
Amazing !
Wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The third movement transports me to the sands of Arabia or Egypt, I see pyramids, palm trees and crocodiles. Sublime músic

That's an interesting observation. What do you mean by that?
I'm deleting my comment above because I am liking this piece better after a few listenings.
Not my favorite piece in the world, but your rudeness is way out of line here. Honest comments don't deserve personal insults.

Hello, here's a new version : ruclips.net/video/gFWx5ui55Ro/видео.html
Bravi, NYCP!
曲の雰囲気とかはかっこいい感じですごい好きだけど結構難しい。 。
帥💜！

Fantástico!
Perfeito, obrigado.
I don't know why, but this person's beginning reminds me of medieval music lol
BRAVO
好聽
Bravo
Is that Bomsori Kim I see? :D

"cows looking over gates"---hahaha, I'd never heard that
I like cows looking over gates, me.
聴きたいときに聴きたい曲が聞けるほどの喜びはないと思う
楽しんでいただけてよかったです。
Sounds like an adventure story soundtrack from the Age of Navigation
It could be because the first part is based on an old English jig,and sea shanties are folk tunes set at sea!
gut
Well shit. There goes my chance at getting into chamber
Glad you like it!
It's like something from Pirates of the Caribbean...
poggers dude
I play the cello so you hear that? I played that on July 26 2017.

yo la primera y la segunda
:)
Hermosa canción
머야 댓글에 한국인 왜케 많어.. 학교서 하는데 넘 어려움
저 이노래 배우는데 너무 어려움..
음 많이 하면 어렵지않아요ㅎㅎ 무엇보다 노래가 좋아서...
It seems a bit top heavy in some places
이거 바이올린으로하는데 #많고 박자독특하고 힘들다
