About this item
Sydney Baynes
(1879 - 1938) was an English conductor, composer and leader of one of
the United Kingdom's most popular radio bands. Born in Sudbury,
Suffolk, he gained his first employment as an organist in London and was
later the piano accompanist for singers such as Edward Lloyd and Ben
Davies. Through this work he became a respected conductor for London
theatres including the Adelphi and Drury Lane. He worked for the BBC
for many years and formed and conducted his own orchestra between 1928
and 1938 which broadcast and recorded regularly. He died in March 1938
in Willesden, London.
His original compositions are largely in the light music genre. The
Destiny Waltz is his most famous piece of work and was one of a series
of generic waltzes based on one-word adverbs, such as "Ecstasy",
"Loyalty", "Mystery", "Victory" and "Witchery". It was published in
1912 and sold over a million copies. It has remained a light music
favourite with many people knowing the tune without necessarily knowing
what it is called.
This newly published edition has been reconstructed from the
original published parts; a number of errors have been corrected and
inconsistencies resolved. Clarinet parts (originally only in A) have
also been provided in Bb; the Horns were originally scored in D and are
here transposed into F; the original Cornets in A are now Trumpets in
Bb.
