Well if this isn't just the most pleasant, cheerful, confectionary, charming, light, frothy, fanciful, charming, cheerful, confectionary, charming, frothy, pleasant, and cheerful music.

Love Eric Coates music!

The Last of the great British Composers.

Interesting….vibrant and colorful…full of life and dance….Quite like London and even New York in 1934 I can testify 😊👍👍

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!

Great to hear this again, but with score. Thanks.

Great work. Full of life and beauty. Thank you.

I've had the tune for the third movement stuck in my head all evening.

A thrilling moving piece! Jolly Good!

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

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"!

Luxurious music writing. It has a similar music style of the Hollywood productions of the 30s.

J'aime beaucoup !

What an excellent work!

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

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.

I hear the street song mixed in called "Cherry Stone."
