#4 from 'Highways & Byways: 4 Sketches' (1919)
----------------------------------------
Phillip Sear plays the lively finale to a set of pieces by the British composer (Alfred) Frederic Mullen (1868-1936).
-----------------------------------------
Much of Mullen's later music was written under pseudonyms: Jean Morel, Gustave Lind, Pierre Lescaut and several others, although this set was written under his own name. Suites of piano pieces by this 'group' of composers were very popular in the early years of the last century. Mullen liked to head his pieces with quotations-not always attributed. This one is headed by a quotation from 'The Yeoman's Wedding Song' an obscure poem by Maria X. Hayes, which was apparently cited by Bertie Wooster in P.G. Wodehouse's works:
“Ding dong, ding dong, we('ll) gallop along,”.
