GUILD LIGHT MUSIC GLCD5121

During the early part of his career Haydn Wood achieved great success as a composer of popular ballads – Roses of Picardy being the most famous, earning him a small fortune during World War 1. But when this style of popular music fell out of favour he produced a considerable amount of orchestral music, much of it sadly no longer being performed on a regular basis. Rhapsodies, overtures, marches, orchestral suites and choral works are all there waiting to be re-discovered by a new generation of performers. It would be nice to think that the finely-crafted works contained on this compact disc might encourage music-lovers to investigate more fully the creations of this brilliant composer.
