About
A collection of 12 songs by 18th Century English composers, with a connection to Vauxhall Gardens in London.
As well as the more familiar eighteenth-century composers James Hook and Thomas Arne (who wrote Rule Britannia), this collection of 12 English melodies includes tunes by the less well-known William Reeve, William Shield and Thomas Arne’s son Michael. Charles Dibdin’s ‘Tom Bowling’, which Sir Henry Wood worked into his ‘Fantasia on British Sea Songs’ – a cornerstone of the Last Night of the Proms, is also here. The introduction provides a short history of Vauxhall Gardens in London, where many of these songs would have been performed and brief biographies of their composers.
