About this item
This set of
five dances is based on Philip Lane’s choral settings for upper voices
and piano of words by Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll, and is a direct
parallel to Richard Rodney Bennett’s "Little Suite", being scored for
the same sized orchestra. Although it is not vital to be aware of the
original texts, no.2 might be more immediately grasped by knowing it was
a setting of "Come away, Death"
This work was commissioned by the
English Music Festival and first performed by the Southern Sinfonia
conducted by Ronald Corp in Dorchester Abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames on
May 27th 2008.

Composer
Philip Lane (1950-)
Philip Lane (born 1950,England) is an English composer and musicologist. He is noted for his light music compositions and arrangements, as well as his painstaking work reconstructing lost film scores.
Born in Cheltenham, he attended Pate's Grammar School and later read music at Birmingham University, where his tutors included Peter Dickinson and John Joubert. Whilst at University he developed a considerable interest in Lord Berners, about whom he wrote a thesis and ultimately became a trustee of the Berners Estate, overseeing the completion of all Berners' music on to CD. He taught music at Cheltenham Ladies' College from 1971 to 1998. During this time, he was a freelance composer for London publishers. He left Cheltenham Ladies' College in 1998 to concentrate on composing and his film restorations. In November 2010, Lane received an honorary Doctorate of Music from the University of Gloucestershire.
