H Balfour Gardiner: Shepherd Fennel's Dance - wind dectet/bass

Composed in 1911.
Probably intended as an interlude for a projected one-act opera based on Thomas Hardy's 'The Three Strangers'. 
Premiered at the Queen's Hall at a Promenade Concert and so successful that it was repeated a month later during the same Proms season.
(It became a favourite at the Proms, chalking up 35 performances between 1911 and 1951)

Arranged for symphonic wind dectet and bass
