A Choral Ballet for SATB chorus and full orchestra
This choral ballet is set to verse by Holst’s pupil Jane Joseph from Grimm’s fairy tale. It tells the story of a princess who could not laugh, narrating attempts by a group of mummers to entertain her, until finally a young man succeeds and wins her hand. Its charming music is replete with folk-influenced melodies and colourful orchestration that vividly illustrate the story.
